050-304
D38999 Series III Type Active Receptacle Connector
with Glenair Size 8 Opto-electronic Contacts
MIL-DTL-38999 type receptacle connector with size 8 opto-electronic contacts
050-304 series of Active Opto-electronic sealed panel mount connectors offers
customers the power to convert from electrical to fiber optic signals within a D38999
connector to support high speed fiber optic transmission in harsh environments. The
050-304s incorporates size 8 active contacts in one of three standard configurations
to enable optical Transmitters, optical ꢀeceivers or Optical Transceivers. The opto-
electronic performance parameters of the 050-304 are defined by the performance of
the size 8 contacts that are incorporated. For example if one incorporates 4.25Gbps
contacts into the connector then each of the contacts will be 4.25Gbps capable.
The fiber optic signal that is generated within the 050-304 active connectors is
transmitted via AꢀIꢁC 801 fiber optic connector interface to fiber optic cable system
using a standard D38999 plug connector that has been fitted with adapters to
incorporate AꢀIꢁC 801 fiber optic contacts. For example a 38999 plug connectors with
size #8 contact cavities, such as 25-08 insert arrangement (per ꢂIL-STD-1560) can be
fitted with Glenair AꢀIꢁC 801 contact adaptersthat convert this electrical connector
into a fiber optic connector that enables it to properly house and retain contacts at
the required optical interface to achieve very repeatable low loss optical transmission
characteristics

These adapters are used to make the PLUG connector that serves as the fiber optic
cable interface.
