Series 806 Mil-Aero High-Density PowerPlay

Save Size and Weight with Series 806 Versus D38999

Series 806 Mil-Aero is the Glenair micro miniature circular series offering significant size and weight savings while meeting key performance benchmarks for a broad range of applications such as commercial and military aerospace, industrial robotics, and transportation systems. Designed for general use in harsh vibration, shock, and environmental settings—as well as high-altitude, unpressurized aircraft zones with aggressive voltage ratings and altitude immersion standards—the Series 806 Mil-Aero features numerous mechanical design innovations including durable mechanical insert retention, radial seals and triple-ripple grommet seals. Its reduced thread pitch and re-engineered ratchet prevent decoupling problems, particularly in small shell sizes, solving one of the major problems of shell size 9 and 11 MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors. PowerPlay versions of the Series 806 leverage all of these performance and design advantages, combined with support for PowerPlay contacts, safe-touch inserts, and TurboFlex cable.

Series 971 Micro-Crimp PowerPlay Rectangular Connectors

High-Power Rectangular Connector for Propulsion Applications

The Series 971 Micro-Crimp PowerPlay is a signature Glenair rectangular power connector, purpose-designed for electrical and hybrid electrical aircraft propulsion applications. The series is equipped with a unique rasied tower architecture for improved creep path electrical performance. Series 971 is equipped with the Glenair high-temperature and high-shock resistant Crown Ring power contact and is fully compatible with ultra high flexibility TurboFlex cable. Supplied in nine high-density power insert arrangements with #8, #4, #2, and #1/0 contacts. Interlock last-mate / first-break arrangements with conventional #20 contacts are also supported. Raised socket towers and safe-touch pin contacts ensure operator safety. Connector shells and bodies are precision-machined from aluminum or stainless steel material and are fully shrouded for electromagnetic compatibility. Full environmental sealing ensures life-of-system reliability in even the harshest high-altitude environments.
