Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact configuration and pinout against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the required socket contacts are ordered separately, as they are not included with the plug housing. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles regarding shell size and coupling type. Check for any updated environmental qualification certifications relevant to your specific operational requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, shielded circular connector is needed for cable mounting applications. The size 10 shell provides a balance between current capacity and compact form factor. Ensure the mating environment supports bayonet locking mechanisms. Verify that the crimp tooling matches the specified contact sizes for reliable electrical performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol 38999 series of circular connectors, which are widely used in aerospace and defense industries. The series is known for its high density and reliability in extreme conditions. The 71- prefix indicates it is manufactured by Amphenol Aerospace Operations, adhering to MIL-DTL-38999 specifications for interchangeability and performance.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements must match the MIL-DTL-38999 Series I specifications. Ensure substitute parts maintain the same shell size, contact arrangement, and coupling style. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer equivalent EREL qualifications if required by your system design.
