71-529705-35E

Overview

The Amphenol Aerospace Operations part number 71-529705-35E is a circular MIL-spec connector belonging to the JT series. It functions as a plug with male pin contacts, designed for cable mounting via solder termination. The connector utilizes shell size 16 and features a bayonet coupling mechanism. It is constructed from aluminum alloy housing with an olive drab cadmium over nickel plating finish. The unit supports a wire gauge range of 22-28 AWG and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 200°C.

Feature Summary

• Bayonet coupling system provides secure mechanical locking
• Solder termination ensures reliable electrical contact
• Aluminum alloy housing offers structural durability
• MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compliance for environmental resilience

Applications

• Avionics systems in military aircraft
• Ground-based military electronic equipment
• Ruggedized communication interfaces
• Harsh environment sensor connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific shell size and contact configuration against the engineering drawing before procurement. Confirm that the required wire gauge falls within the 22-28 AWG specification. Ensure compatibility with existing mating receptacles regarding the bayonet interface. Check for any updated revision levels or superseded part numbers from the manufacturer. Validate that the cadmium plating meets project material restrictions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a MIL-DTL-38999 Series III plug is required for cable applications. Choose this model if a bayonet coupling style is preferred over screw or quick connect types. Consider this part for environments requiring operation up to 200°C. Evaluate the 16-shell size capacity against the necessary pin count and current requirements. Ensure the solder termination method aligns with available assembly tools.

Part Context

This connector is part of the JT series, which represents the commercial version of the MIL-C-38999 standard. The JT series is widely used in aerospace and defense sectors due to its high density and reliability. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy MIL-C-38999 connectors while maintaining form, fit, and function compatibility with established military specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include MS27467T16B35P and DT04-16P. Verify cross-referencing with official Amphenol substitution guides. Ensure mating dimensions match exactly for seamless integration.
