Related options: D38999/26WJ5PN uses olive drab cadmium finish (W); D38999/26KJ5PN uses stainless Class K; socket versions use S contacts; mating square-flange receptacle is D38999/20FJ5SN; jam-nut receptacle is D38999/24FJ5SN. Same shell size also commonly uses arrangements J4, J19, J20, J24, J29, J35, J37, J43, J46, and J61. Confirm contact layout from the Series III arrangement chart when specifying tooling. There is no functional difference between D38999 and J599 prefixes for form-fit-function mating within the same Series III family.
Compatible Applications
The D38999/26FJ5PN straight plug is intended for platforms that require EMI-capable threaded interconnects with a low-count #16 power / signal layout in a large shell. Typical use cases include:
- Aircraft and helicopter wiring harness cable ends
- Avionics LRUs, radar, and communication equipment
- Ground vehicles and rugged electronic enclosures
- Shipboard and outdoor equipment requiring sealed circular connectors
- Industrial systems that standardize on D38999 / GJB599 Series III interfaces

Installation Notes
- Verify shell size, insert arrangement, contact gender, finish class, and keying before mating.
- Use the correct crimp tooling for #16 contacts specified by arrangement J5 / 25-5; confirm layout from the arrangement chart.
- Select and install a compatible M85049 / GJB1784 backshell or strain relief for shell size 25.
- Fully engage the triple-start threaded coupling until the self-locking mechanism is seated.
- Mate only with Series III receptacles of the same shell size, arrangement, opposite contact gender, and matching keying.
