Deep Space D38999 Connectors

The Amphenol Aerospace Operations Deep Space 38999 connector series is designed for extremely cold environments. They are built to retain a grommet-to-wire and contact-to-contact seal in temperatures below -85°F (-65°C), with inserts that have been cycle tested between -319°F (-195°C) and +392°F (+200°C). Additional testing, including vibration at -319°F (-195°C), can be found in the test report.

Deep Space connectors are excellent for a range of spaceborne applications, such as the bitter temperature swings of low Earth orbit (LEO) space, where satellites and space vehicles spend significant time during operations. They’re also fitting for space launch systems, future lunar missions, deep space exploration, space station applications, and more. These connectors' capabilities in frigid temperatures also make them an excellent fit for the extremely low-temperature operating environments in superconducting qubit quantum computers.
