Amphenol's TVS06RF-15-18AB Tri-Start connector is a robust and reliable solution for demanding interconnection needs. Originally developed for military and commercial aircraft, this connector combines high coupling durability with exceptional EMI shielding and resistance to moisture and corrosion. Its miniature circular shell houses a high-density contact arrangement, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. The connector's quick-mating design and environmentally sealed construction ensure secure and dependable connections in harsh environments. It is fully intermatable and intermountable with other MIL-DTL-38999 series III connectors, offering flexibility and compatibility in system design. Applications include high-performance military aircraft, commercial airlines, communications equipment, armored personnel carriers, missiles, and shipboard systems.
