Features & Benefits
Amphenol
®
LJT and JT Series subminiature cylindrical
connectors are qualified to MIL-DTL-38999*, Series I
and II respectively. These connectors were developed
to meet the needs of the aerospace industry, and
provided the impetus for development of the
MIL-C-38999 specifications, which has been
superseded by MIL-DTL-38999. Meeting or exceeding
MIL-DTL-38999 requirements, Amphenol

Series I LJT
Components
Shell components are impact extruded or machined bar stock
aluminum. Standard plating on shell components is cadmium over
nickel. Many finishes are optional (see “Specifications” page 19).
Hermetic seal receptacles are available in carbon steel or stainless
steel shells. Dependable 5 key/keyway polarization with bayonet lock
coupling is incorporated to aid and assure positive mating.
Insert material is a rigid dielectric with excellent electrical character-
istics, providing durable protection for molded-in solder type contacts.
Contrasting letter or number designations are used on insert faces.
A fluorinated silicone interfacial seal wafer is featured on the mating
face of “crimp type pin” inserts. This assures complete electrical
isolation of pins when connector halves are mated. In addition, a main
joint gasket is installed in the receptacle for moisture sealing between
connector halves. Both features are also available for hermetic
receptacles.

Contacts
Maximum design flexibility is built into the JT/LJT Series, with a mini-
mum of 2 to a maximum of 128 circuits per connector in a wide variety
of contact arrangements. Contacts are available in sizes 8, 10, 12, 16,
20, 22, 22D and 22M with standard 50 micro inch minimum gold plating
(100 micro inches optional). All socket contacts are probe proof. Crimp
type rear removable contacts are featured in JT-R and LJT-R
connectors. Solder termination contacts are also available, as well as
PCB, wire wrap, thermocouple, fiber optic, coaxial, triaxial and twinax
contact options.

A plug with a given rotation letter
will mate with a receptacle with the
same rotation letter. The AB angle
for a given connector is the same
whether it contains pins or sockets.
Only the master key/keyway rotates
in the shell, and the minor keys are
fixed.
AB angles shown are viewed from
the front face of the connector, a
receptacle is shown below. The
angles for the plug are exactly the
