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 806 Mil-Aero Raised Tower Architecture
  • High-Temperature Crown Ring Contacts
  • Compatible TurboFlex Cabling
