series introduction
# Introduction to the D38999/20KB98SA Product Series
## 1. Overview
The D38999/20KB98SA product series belongs to the high - performance circular connector family. These connectors are engineered to meet the most demanding requirements in various industries, especially in aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. Their design is a result of advanced engineering and strict quality control, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments.
## 2. Key Features
### 2.1 Robust Construction
- **Housing Material**: The connectors in the D38999/20KB98SA series are typically constructed with a high - strength aluminum alloy housing. This material provides excellent mechanical protection against impacts, vibrations, and abrasions. The housing is also treated with a special coating to enhance its corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in marine and other corrosive environments.
- **Contact Design**: The contacts are made of high - conductivity materials, such as copper alloy. They are precision - machined to ensure a stable and low - resistance electrical connection. The contact design also features a high - retention force, which prevents the contacts from loosening due to vibrations or mechanical shocks.
### 2.2 High - Density Contact Arrangement
- The D38999/20KB98SA series offers a high - density contact arrangement, allowing for the transmission of multiple signals or power lines within a relatively small space. This is particularly beneficial in applications where space is limited, such as in avionics systems or compact industrial control panels.
- The contact layout is carefully designed to minimize crosstalk between adjacent contacts, ensuring the integrity of the transmitted signals.
### 2.3 Environmental Sealing
- These connectors are equipped with high - quality sealing gaskets that provide excellent environmental protection. They are rated to meet IP67 or higher standards, which means they are dust - tight and can withstand immersion in water for a certain period of time.
- The sealing also helps to prevent the ingress of moisture, chemicals, and other contaminants, which can damage the electrical contacts and reduce the performance of the connector.
### 2.4 EMI/RFI Shielding
- In today's electromagnetic - rich environment, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio - frequency interference (RFI) can pose significant challenges to the proper functioning of electronic systems. The D38999/20KB98SA series features effective EMI/RFI shielding.
- The housing of the connector is designed to act as a shield, reducing the impact of external electromagnetic fields on the transmitted signals. This shielding helps to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the data transmission in sensitive electronic systems.
## 3. Electrical Performance
### 3.1 Current - Carrying Capacity
- The contacts in the D38999/20KB98SA series are capable of carrying relatively high currents, depending on the contact size and the specific application requirements. This makes them suitable for power - distribution applications as well as signal - transmission applications.
- The current - carrying capacity is carefully calculated and tested to ensure that the connector can operate safely and reliably under normal and abnormal operating conditions.
### 3.2 Voltage Rating
- These connectors are designed to handle a wide range of voltages. The voltage rating is determined by factors such as the contact spacing, insulation material, and the overall design of the connector.
- The high - voltage rating allows the D38999/20KB98SA series to be used in applications where high - voltage power or signals need to be transmitted, such as in some aerospace and industrial power systems.
### 3.3 Signal Integrity
- For signal - transmission applications, the D38999/20KB98SA series offers excellent signal
