Introducing the TE Wildcat Series

The TE Connectivity Wildcat Series is a family of high-performance circular connectors designed for aerospace and defence applications, combining compact size with exceptional durability. The series includes three sub-ranges: Wildcat D38999, Wildcat Micro, and Wildcat UAV, each engineered for specific space, weight and performance demands.

The Wildcat D38999 offers all the proven benefits of the MIL-DTL-D38999 Series III, but with significantly higher contact density. For example, the 19-way connector holds 118 size 24 contacts, that’s 78% more than the standard D38999 III, and 34% more than even the high-density version.

Wildcat Micro is a compact connector based on the JN1003 Eurofighter standard. It’s available with either bayonet locking or anti-vibration triple-start threaded coupling, and supports up to 9 contacts. The size 06 version is only 15.15mm wide, ideal where space is critical.

Going further still in weight and size reduction is the Wildcat UAV.  The Micro Extralite HE 6-way version has a diameter of just 9.7mm and includes a power option capable of handling conductors up to 70mm².

All Wildcat connectors are sealed, fluid-resistant, and EMC protected, with integral backshells for cable braid and heatshrink boot applications. They support crimp contacts compatible with standard M22520-2-01 tooling, with PCB options also available.
