D38999/20WC35SN — MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Wall Mount Receptacle (Shell Size 13, 22 Socket Contacts)

D38999/20WC35SN is a genuineAerospace MIL-DTL-38999 Series III circular connector — a fixed wall-mount flange receptacle, built to be permanently panel- or bulkhead-mounted on equipment enclosures. It carries 22 gold-plated crimp socket contacts in shell size 13, with an olive drab cadmium finish for maximum corrosion resistance.

Unlike a free-hanging cable plug, this receptacle is designed to stay fixed to the equipment housing, providing a stable, quick-disconnect interface for the mating cable plug. Like every D38999 Series III connector, it withstands extreme shock, vibration, moisture, and corrosion in demanding military, aerospace, and industrial environments.

How to Read the Part Number

D38999/20WC35SN breaks down as follows:

  • D38999/20 — Base MIL-DTL-38999 Series III part number for a fixed wall-mount flange receptacle
  • W — Shell finish: aluminum, olive drab cadmium over electroless nickel base (500-hour salt spray, -65°C to +175°C)
  • C — Shell size letter code for shell size 13
  • 35 — Insert arrangement, defining a 22-position contact layout (contact count varies by shell size — the same “35” arrangement code yields different contact counts on different shell sizes)
  • S — Contact type: socket (female) contacts
  • N — Polarization/keying position: normal

Typical Applications

  • Fixed panel or bulkhead connections on military and aerospace equipment enclosures
  • Avionics line-replaceable units (LRUs) and junction boxes
  • Ground vehicle and shipboard electronics chassis interconnects
  • Test equipment and ground support systems needing a permanently mounted MIL-qualified interface

Mating Information

D38999/20WC35SN is a wall-mount receptacle and is confirmed to mate with D38999/26WC35PN — a free-hanging straight plug, same shell size 13 and insert arrangement 35, fitted with pin contacts. Always confirm the exact mating part number and finish class against your harness drawing before ordering.

FAQ

1. What does D38999/20WC35SN mean?

It decodes to a MIL-DTL-38999 Series III wall-mount flange receptacle (/20), olive drab cadmium finish (W), shell size 13 (C), insert arrangement 35 (22 positions), socket contacts (S), normal keying (N).

2.How many contacts does D38999/20WC35SN have?

22 socket contacts, per insert arrangement 13-35.

3.What is the shell size of D38999/20WC35SN?

Shell size 13 — shown by the letter “C” in the part number (shell size letter codes: A=09, B=11, C=13, D=15, E=17, F=19, G=21, H=23, J=25).

4.What’s the difference between D38999/20 and D38999/26 shell styles?

D38999/20 is a fixed wall-mount flange receptacle, designed to be permanently bolted to a panel or bulkhead. D38999/26 is a free-hanging straight plug, designed to terminate a cable and mate with a fixed receptacle. Choose /20 for the equipment side, /26 for the cable side.

5.What contacts and crimp tools does D38999/20WC35SN use?

It uses standard AS39029/M39029 crimp socket contacts, size #22D; contacts and the corresponding insertion/removal and crimp tooling are typically ordered separately.

6.Is there a mating plug for this connector?

Yes — D38999/26WC35PN is the confirmed mating plug (pin contacts), same shell size and insert arrangement, designed to connect to this receptacle.
