DBAS 79-61-0 PW

Overview

The DBAS 79-61-0 PW is a MIL-DTL-38999 Series III circular connector manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine. It features a 61-position configuration with size 20 contacts. The connector utilizes a solid shell constructed from corrosion-resistant materials and employs a threaded coupling mechanism for secure engagement. Designed for high-reliability applications, it supports cable and panel mounting options.

Feature Summary

• High-density 61-contact arrangement within a compact Series III form factor
• Threaded coupling interface ensuring robust mechanical retention in high-vibration environments
• Solid shell construction providing enhanced environmental sealing and durability

Applications

• Aerospace avionics systems requiring high pin count interconnects
• Defense communication equipment operating in harsh environments
• Industrial control panels demanding reliable signal transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact termination type (crimp or solder) and plating material required for your application, as these are often specified via ordering suffixes not included in the base model number. Confirm that the selected variant meets all necessary military specifications and environmental ratings for your operational context before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a high-density, ruggedized solution is required for critical infrastructure. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles or plugs by verifying shell size and contact gender. Consider environmental sealing requirements and vibration resistance needs to determine if additional backshell accessories are necessary for optimal performance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III family, known for its small size and high density. It serves as a standard interconnect solution in defense and aerospace sectors where reliability under extreme conditions is paramount. The design replaces older, bulkier Series I and II connectors while maintaining similar electrical performance characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include equivalent MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors from other qualified manufacturers such as Amphenol or ITT Cannon. Verify dimensional compatibility and contact arrangement before substitution.
