MIL-C-83723 (SERIES 3)
J & K SERIES
MIL-C-83723 Hermetic connectors were developed for
application where a controlled atmosphere such as inert
gasses, partial vacuums, or constant environments are
needed. These receptacles are designed for use in aerospace,
electronic, electrical power, and control circuits.
The “J” & “K” Series receptacles are manufactured to
American Micro Products, Inc. (AMPI / ACE) standards and
meet the intermateability requirements of MIL-C-83723 Series
3 types B and T respectively. They are hermetically sealed
with a single compression glass seal around all contacts to
prevent air leakage in excess of 1x10-7 cc/sec of helium at one
atmosphere.
The “J” series receptacles have a bayonet coupling
mechanism and the “K” series have the threaded coupling
type.
Standard hermetic receptacles are supplied with either solder
cup or eyelet type contact terminations. Contacts for other
applications such as thermocouple or flex prints are also
available. Standard receptacles are tin plated steel shells or
passivated stainless steel shells with gold plated nickel-iron
alloy contacts. Other materials and finishes can be supplied to
meet specific application requirements. Both series are
supplied with interfacial seals and O-rings.
ELECTRICAL SERVICE DATA
The maximum current to be carried by the connector, based on
contact size, is the same as permitted by the wire bundle.
Maximum current ratings and corresponding voltage drops
under test condition, fully assembled, are shown below.
