Lanyard-Release Fail-Safe Connectors

SAE-AS81703 Series 3 and MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Type Lanyard-Equipped Fail-Safe Quick-Release Connectors

Ideal for high shock / high vibration environments including outer space and defense applications such as missile and payload deployment, Glenair lanyard-release interconnects provide fail-safe, quick-disconnect operation. Supplied in standard density (AS81703 Series 3 type) and high density (MIL-DTL-38999 type) configurations, each connector series is intermateable and intermountable with currently available mil-spec and commercial connectors, and offer enhancements to standard designs. Both the standard-density series and the high-density series are available with an integrated band porch for shield termination, 360° saw teeth for rear-end accessory clocking, and a red full-mate indicator stripe. The AS81703 Series 3 type connector is ideally suited for droppable stores, umbilical connections, rocket launch, and other extreme vibration and shock environments where rugged and reliable blind mating and lanyard-release disconnection is a must. The D38999 Series III type interconnect is designed for applications that require high-density and combo insert arrangements IAW MIL-STD-1560.
