Amphenol Aerospace 2M Series Connectors

smaller, lighter-weight alternative for d38999 performance

Amphenol 2M micro-miniature connectors are a small, light-weight option for mil-spec performance that can withstand harsh environments. They are quick-mating and a variety of styles and options are available.

These high-performance connectors are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern aerospace and military applications. These lightweight, miniature connectors offer exceptional durability and reliability in the most challenging environments. Designed with advanced materials and innovative technology, the 2M Series ensures superior electrical performance and secure connectivity. Whether for avionics, communications, or mission-critical systems, the Amphenol Aerospace 2M Series delivers unparalleled performance, supporting the future of aerospace with robust and dependable solutions.

2M801 Connectors with Dual-Start Acme Threads

2M801 is generally considered a legacy series. Its successor, the 2M805 series, has a number of important improvements, including a triple-start thread (which reduces the number of turns it takes to fully mate the connectors) and an EMI band (which increases shell-to-shell conductivity and greatly improves signal shielding). 

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Heavy Dual-Start ACME Thread
  • Most durable of the 2M series
  • Up to 2,000 mating cycles
  • Two Plug Styles: Ratcheting and Anti-Decoupling
  • High Speed Options Available

2M805 Tri-Start Threaded Coupling Micro-Miniature Connectors

2M805 micro 38999 connectors are the evolution of the mil-standard circular. Designed to meet the same harsh environmental requirements of D38999, they were developed to make scaling-down existing technology easy and risk-free. Your systems are getting smaller, lighter, and faster; so why wouldn’t your interconnect do the same? Less than half the size and weight of their 38999 predecessors, you can reduce size, reduce space, and reduce cost… but never reduce your expectations.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Tri-Start fast coupling
  • Excellent EMI shielding
  • Superior vibration resistance
  • Waterproof
  • Nickel-plated ground spring
  • High Speed Options Available

2M803 1/4-Turn Bayonet Coupling Lightweight Connectors

2M803 micro-miniature circular connectors are very light; and their fast, sure-mate bayonet coupling makes them the perfect choice for light-duty applications that require frequent disconnect. Their micro-miniature size and easy decoupling also make them the connector of choice for customers who have hard-to-reach panels. Unlike their other 2M counterparts, 2M803 connectors are not rated for immersion and are recommended for general purpose connections that will not be exposed to the elements for very long.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Bayonet Coupling
  • Quickest turn-mating of the 2M series
  • 1,000 mating cycles
  • Lightest of the 2M series

2M804 Push-Pull Quick-Disconnect Connectors

2M804 connectors are the most rugged push-pull micro-miniature circular connectors on the market. Designed for use in soldier-worn tactical equipment deployed by the United States military, these connectors were built to perform. Waterproof, dustproof, and highly resistant to EMI interference, these connectors are just as at home on the battlefield as they are in use on C4I and IFE systems. With up to 85 signals, panel-mounting options, and customizable separation forces, there’s no place on land, sea, and air 2M804 can’t go.

 

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Push-pull coupling
  • Excellent EMI shielding
  • Rated to 38999 immersions
  • Quick-disconnect

2M Hermetic Micro-Miniature Connectors

Amphenol 2M Hermetic micro-miniature connectors offer a superior hermetic seal while offering the same durability of MIL-DTL-38999 connectors but with less than half the size and weight.

The small and lightweight 2M Hermetic connector provides an exceptional airtight seal without sacrificing ruggedness and meets or exceeds most MIL-DTL-38999 environmental and performance requirements.

2M Hermetics come in a variety of coupling technologies, including tri-start, push-pull, bayonet, and dual start.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Provide superior sealing of 1×10-8 cc/sec helium, 100% tested prior to shipping
  • Low profile shells for minimum box protrusion
  • Less than half the weight and size of similar MIL-DTL-38999
  • Multiple coupling technologies, including tri-start, push-pull, bayonet, and dual start
  • “Anti-Decoupling” ratchet mechanism and ground spring for military airframes and avionics boxes. Fast Mating
  • Shell Standoffs for PC Board washout
