MIL-Spec Hermetic Connectors

Our standard Mil-Spec hermetic connectors offer the highest performance capabilities for both general duty and severe environment applications.

Our standard hermetic connectors are available in a wide variety of Mil-Spec configurations. Hermetic connectors are essential to maintain system integrity in applications where the reliability and performance of electrical  connectors are critical, such as gas-tight barriers or areas with high-pressure differentials.

Hermetic D38999 series I, II and III

Our MIL-DTL-38999 Hermetic Connectors offer the highest performance capabilities for both general duty and severe environment applications and meet or exceed MIL-DTL-38999 requirements.

Originally designed for the harshest environments and most demanding applications, our MIL-DTL-38999 connectors continue to evolve with the needs of an ever-changing market.

  • Series III features recessed pins, in this 100% scoop-proof connector which minimizes potential contact damage. With improved interfacial seal design, these connectors have the benefit of moisture resistance and the temperature ranges up to 200°C
  • Series II features lightweight and space saving design. These connectors feature 3 point bayonet lock system and mismating is eliminated via 5 keyway design.
  • Series I features lightweight and space saving design. These connectors come with contact protection via 100% scoop-proof design which prevents bent pins and short circuits during mating. These connectors also feature 3 point bayonet lock system and mismating is eliminated via 5 keyway design.

Hermetic MIL-DTL 83723

Our MIL-DTL 83723, Series III family of connectors includes styles from Pyle National. These have proven technology for severe environments and are widely used in commercial and military aerospace markets. These connectors incorporate many advantages features, such as unique threaded coupling mechanism that provides grater resistance to decoupling.

This coupling mechanism eliminates the need for safety wiring and tends to couple during vibration – thus offering the user added assurance and a margin of safety.

  • High temperature hermetics with ranges up to 200°C and 260°C
  • Styles are available in threaded receptacles with solderwell or flat eyelet termination. PC tail designs are available on request
  • Designed for environmental moisture sealing with fused compression glass sealed inserts

Hermetic 26482 Series I and II

These miniature circular hermetic connectors offer twice the number of contacts in just half the size of as standard connector.

They feature robust bayonet locking mechanism and are intermatable.

  • PT series and 62GB series offered under 26482 Series I specifications, with temperature range from -55°C to 125°C
  • 602GB series offered under 26482 Series II specifications, with temperature range from -65°C to 200°C
  • Shell style for both series available: Square flange, Jam Nut or Solder Mount, alternatively also available as bespoke design flange
  • Contact terminations available: Eyelet, Solder bucket, alternatively other non-standard pin termination also available at request

Hermetic MIL-C-50515

Martec’s 172GB series are hermetically sealed connectors which are designed to meet the mechanical and environmental requirements of MIL-C-50515. These connectors are available as receptacles which fixed pin contacts which are fused into a glass dielectric insert. This insert is in the form of a single piece glass giving improved dielectric performance over individual bead insert designs.

  • Available with mild or stainless steel housing
  • Temperature range for mild steel housing from -55°C to 125°C and for stainless steel housing from -55°C to 200°C
  • Contact terminations available: Eyelet, Solder bucket, alternatively other non-standard pin termination also available at request
  • Thermocouple contacts in Alumel and Chromel also available on a limited number of inserts

Standard Mil Spec Hermetic Derivatives

Martec standard hermetic connectors can be customised to optimise for a multitude of demanding functional requirements. Options range from material selection and form factors to mounting arrangements.

It is always refreshing to find a vendor like Martec that acts as a partner in the product development process.  They have been responsive, show enthusiasm, and have demonstrated dedication in delivering a product that meets our needs and the needs of our end customers.

Dover Group

Our engineers reported that the resulting products are some of the “coolest bits of technology that they have worked on” and they are truly a “design win”. On the whole the quality of the product far exceeded our expectations – the levels of finish are exceptional and met all of our design criteria. Martec is an excellent partner.

Design Engineer

The assistance provided by Martec during the project was invaluable. Their prompt service enabled us to arrive at a solution within the short time scales of our project, and their advice on the type of vacuum grease to use and how to prepare the contact surfaces to ensure proper sealing was much appreciated. Martec was also most helpful in scheduling the manufacturing of the connectors, which are usually only manufactured to order.
