GJB599A / MIL-DTL-38999K
GJB599 Series I Circular Connector - Receptacle
The GJB599 Series I circular receptacle connector (equivalent to MIL-DTL-38999 Series I) is the fixed-mount half of the bayonet-coupled Series I system, available in wall-mounting square flange (front or rear mounting), box-mounting square flange and jam-nut mounting styles. Nine shell sizes and 70 contact arrangements cover signal densities from a few contacts up to high pin counts, with crimp, solder and PCB contact terminations. Sealed interfaces and grommets deliver reliable performance under vibration, salt spray and wide temperature extremes for aviation, aerospace and military equipment.

Nine shell sizes and 70 contact arrangements cover signal densities from a few contacts up to high pin counts, with crimp, solder and PCB contact terminations. Sealed interfaces and grommets deliver reliable performance under vibration, salt spray and wide temperature extremes for aviation, aerospace and military equipment.
- Wall-mount square flange (front / rear mounting), box-mount square flange and jam-nut mounting styles.
- Bayonet coupling with a 5-key polarising system offering five key positions against mismating.
- 9 shell sizes and 70 contact arrangements, with crimp, solder and PCB contact terminations.
- Sealed mating interface and rear grommet resist moisture, salt spray, mould, rain and dust.
- Shell classes B (cadmium), E (passivated stainless) and F (electroless nickel) for different environments.
- Interchangeable and intermateable with MIL-DTL-38999 Series I equivalents.
