This assembly consists of a 39500002-164 endplate assembly, compatible with D38999 size C or size 13 receptacles, populated with a 20FC35SN Receptacle.
It bolts directly into any open position in the PRL-MRK-3-1 rack-mount kit or in the 38003105-1 rack-mount panel, allowing pass-through of signals on a 20FC35SN circular connector with 22 positions.
Crimp and insert your own cables into the interior side of the housing:
using the included M39029/56-348 socket contacts (22 pieces) and plastic tool, or insert our pre-crimped cable assemblies, sold separately:
-
88001600-SMA-M-348-x provides a single coax connection for a single-ended signal, with an SMA-M connector on one end and two M39029/56-348 socket contacts crimped onto the center conductor and shield at the other end, ready for insertion into 2 positions of any compatible D38999 connector:
- Cable assembly 88001620-SMA-M-348-x, provides two coax connections for a differential signal pair, with two SMA-M connectors on one end and three M39029/56-348 socket contacts crimped onto the 2 center conductors and common shield at the other end, ready for insertion into 3 positions of any compatible D38999 connector.

Insertion of the crimped contacts into the connector housings is simple, and a plastic insertion/removal tool is included with the connector housing. This video from Amphenol demonstrates the process:
which is the same for any standards-compliant D38999-style connector. We have found that lubricating the contacts by dipping them in alcohol makes insertion easier, and in some cases even obviates the need for the insertion tool. The alcohol is non-damaging to either the contact or the housing, and evaporates quickly.
