Electrical Wire Connector D38999 III Series Square Flange Receptacle J599/20ke26pn

J599/20KE26PN Square Flange Wall Mount Receptacle, GJB599 Series III / D38999 Series III

The J599/20KE26PN is a triple-start threaded circular electrical connector receptacle designed for aerospace, avionics, and industrial platforms. It conforms to GJB599 Series III / J599 requirements and is interchangeable with the D38999/20KE26PN designation used in MIL-DTL-38999 Series III supply chains.

This wall-mount square flange receptacle features Class K stainless steel (passivated) finish, shell size E (shell size 17), insert arrangement E26 / 17-26 (26 contacts), pin contacts (P), and normal keying (N). The design supports EMI shielding, scoop-proof mating, self-locking threaded coupling, and removable crimp contacts.

Product Features

• Conformant to GJB599 Series III (equivalent to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III / D38999)
• Interchangeable with cross-reference part number D38999/20KE26PN
• Triple-start threaded self-locking coupling for high-vibration retention
• Square flange wall-mount receptacle for panel installation
• Class K stainless steel (passivated) shell for high corrosion resistance
• Pin contact configuration (P) with insert arrangement E26 / 17-26: typically 26 x #20 contacts
• Normal keying (N) for standard polarization and anti-mismatch mating

Part Number Breakdown

Related options: J599/20FE26PN uses electroless nickel finish (F); J599/20WE26PN uses olive drab cadmium (W); socket versions use S contacts; jam-nut style is J599/24KE26PN; mating plug is typically J599/26KE26SN. Same shell size also commonly uses arrangements E2, E6, E8, E35, and E99. There is no functional difference between J599 and D38999 prefixes for form-fit-function mating within the same Series III family.

Compatible Applications

The J599/20KE26PN square flange receptacle is intended for platforms that require EMI-capable threaded interconnects with mid-count #20 circuits and stainless Class K corrosion performance. Typical use cases include:

• Aircraft and helicopter wiring harness panel interfaces
• Avionics LRUs, radar, and communication equipment
• Ground vehicles and rugged electronic enclosures
• Marine / outdoor equipment requiring high corrosion resistance
• Industrial systems that standardize on GJB599 / D38999 Series III interfaces

Selection Guide

Installation Notes

• Verify shell size, insert arrangement, contact gender, finish class, and keying before mating.
• Use the correct crimp tooling for #20 contacts specified by arrangement E26 / 17-26.
• Mount the square flange securely to the panel and keep sealing surfaces clean.
• Fully engage the triple-start threaded coupling until the self-locking mechanism is seated.
• Select matching Series III plug and M85049 / GJB1784 accessories compatible with shell size 17.

Why Choose J599/20KE26PN

Form-Fit-Function Compatibility

Choosing J599/20KE26PN ensures form-fit-function compatibility with D38999/20KE26PN supply chains while meeting GJB599 Series III requirements. The stainless Class K square-flange threaded receptacle geometry supports secure mating, EMI continuity, and reliable #20 interconnect in corrosive aerospace and industrial environments.

Ordering Information

Order by the GJB599 designation J599/20KE26PN, or cross-reference as D38999/20KE26PN, depending on your procurement standard. When requesting a quote, please confirm mating plug part number, contact plating, mounting panel cut-out, and required quantity.
