Frequently asked questions
How small is J599S?
J599S shells are sizes 3, 5 and 7, with coupling threads from M7 × 0.5 to M9.6 × 0.5 — for sensors and devices where even a size 9 connector is too large.
Can I get other layouts?
The catalog lists 6 layouts with 2 to 5 contacts. Other layouts can be made to your requirements.
