Mighty Mouse Connectors
The Series 80 Mighty Mouse connector is designed for high-reliability aerospace/defense interconnect applications requiring robust environmental performance and reduced size and weight. The Series 80 Mighty Mouse connector offers virtually equal performance to MIL-DTL-38999 interconnects with up to 71% weight and 52% size savings for similar contact layouts.

The Series 80 Connector was originally developed as a smaller and lighter alternative to D38999 connectors for aerospace applications such as attack helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles. Today, the Series 80 Mighty Mouse serves in thousands of safety-critical defense, medical, industrial and geo-physical applications.
The Series 80 Mighty Mouse connector is supplied in six standard designs, including Glenair’s most recent addition of Series 806 mil-aero micro-miniature connectors. These next-generation high-density connectors are half the size and weight of MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors while still meeting stringent requirements for harsh vibration, shock and environmental settings. The numerous design enhancements of this series include durable mechanical insert retention, radial seals and triple-ripple grommet seals. In addition, the connectors’ reduced thread pitch and re-engineered ratchet prevent decoupling issues, particularly in small shell sizes.
- Series 800 Light Duty UN Thread
- Series 801 Heavy Duty Double-Start
- Series 802 “Aqua Mouse” Harsh Environmental
- Series 803 Bayonet
- Series 804 Quick-Disconnect
- Series 805 Triple-Start
- Series 806 Micro-Miniature (NEW!)
We also carry Series 80 Mighty Mouse tools and accessories and Series 80 Mighty Mouse backshells and accessories.
All the connectors in the Series 80 family are available with rear-release crimp contacts or with PC tail or solder cup terminations. Shell styles, including in-line plugs, square-flange and jam-nut receptacles are available for all types. Integrated banding platforms for EMI shield termination or rear-end threads for backshell accessories are also standard throughout the line.
The Mighty Mouse features #23 contacts to accept #22 to #28 wire. Contact spacing is .076.” Size #12, #16 and #20 layouts are now available for higher current requirements and for coaxial and fiber optic contact accommodation. The smaller and lighter Mighty Mouse maintains the same approximate electrical and mechanical performance as larger and heavier Military Standard environmental connectors.
Insert arrangements are available for as few as 1 and as many as 130 contacts.
