Nickel PTFE-Plated DEUTSCH 38999 Connectors Offer Alternative to Cadmium

September 1, 2014 By Megan Hollis Leave a Comment

TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity, announces a new RoHS-compliant nickel PTFE plating for its DEUTSCH standard MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors. Along with TE’s recently announced black zinc nickel plating, this new coating further expands TE’s response to new environmental regulations that reduce the use of cadmium. The nickel PTFE plating is Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) qualified, and offers the same level of electrical performance, harsh environment protection and temperature ranges as cadmium finishes.

The nickel PTFE finish is non-magnetic and non-reflective and ideal for a variety of applications including next-generation harsh-environment vehicles, electric drive vehicles, aerospace, mass transit, automotive, communications equipment, power generation and de-icing equipment.

The new nickel PTFE plating option is available on TE’s DEUTSCH standard MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and DTS High Current connectors. For more information contact the Product Information Center at 1-800-522-6752.
