Applications

D38999/46 is the MIL-DTL-38999 Series IV plug that carries an EMI grounding spring — a ring of spring fingers that bears against the mating receptacle shell to give a continuous low-impedance path from plug shell to receptacle shell all the way round, rather than relying on the coupling threads and a single shell-to-shell touching point. That matters on harnesses routed inside equipment bays next to switching power supplies, radios and digital buses, where an intermittent shell bond turns a shielded cable into an antenna. The /47 is the same plug without the EMI ground spring for applications where EMC is handled elsewhere; the two are otherwise identical and both use the Series IV 90-degree breech-lok coupling with audible, tactile and visual engagement confirmation. The example designation D38999/46WJ30PN decodes as plug with EMI ground spring, class W cadmium olive drab, shell size J (25), insert arrangement 30, pin contacts, normal polarization — the format carries a full configuration in a single part number.
