Features and Applications

AE3 Series hermetic connector receptacles are manufactured to Conesys Europe standards and meet all the requirements of MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and EN3645.

AE3 Series are cylindrical connectors, designed for highest performance capabilities, and used in both general purpose and severe environment applications.

These connectors feature a one-turn coupling system, utilizing self-locking triple start ACME thread. ACME threads provide coupling durability, while thicker wall sections and greater coupling surface area improve strength, shock resistance and EMI shielding. Blunting of the threads on both receptacle and plug coupling nut eliminates cross threading.

Square flange, jam nut, solder, and welding receptacles are available in 9 shell sizes and insert arrangements utilizing sizes 22D, 20, 16, 12 and 8 contacts.

Customer-specific design can be proposed for special applications – Consult factory for details.

These hermetic connectors are available in stainless steel material, passivated or nickel plated. Other materials can be proposed for special applications – Please consult factory.

MIL-STD-1560 Insert Arrangement

– AE3 Series hermetic connectors use standard insert arrangement.

EN3645 and Specific Insert Arrangement

– AE3 Series hermetic connectors can be proposed with EN3645 or special insert arrangement – Please consult factory.

Scoop-Proof Design

– Recessed pins in elongated shells minimize the possibility of contact damage. In a blind mating application, mating shells cannot “scoop” the pins and cause a shorting or bending of contacts.

Interfacial Pin Insert Seal

– Raised moisture barriers around each receptacle pin, which mate into lead-in chamfers of the plug hard face socket insert, provide individual contact sealing.

Glass Insulator

– These hermetic connectors are designed with sintered compression glass as an insulator.
