Mighty Mouse Connector (Series 80) | Miniature Circular Connectors for Defense & Aerospace

Miniature Form. Maximum Function — Mighty Mouse Connector Series 80

When space is tight and reliability is non-negotiable, engineers reach for the Series 80 Mighty Mouse Connector — a miniature circular connector that delivers heavyweight performance.

Roughly half the size and weight of traditional MIL-DTL-38999 connectors, it offers IP67+ sealing, 360° EMI protection, and up to 10,000 mating cycles in aerospace, defense, robotics, and industrial environments.

Optimized for Harsh Environments

XACT EMS integrates these connectors into custom overmolded cable assemblies built for mission-critical platforms where SWaP (Size, Weight & Power) optimization matters most. As a result, these assemblies deliver reliable connectivity even in high-vibration, high-temperature, or high-moisture conditions.

Why It Earned the Name “Mighty.”

Feature Performance Advantage
Size & Weight ~50% smaller and lighter than MIL-DTL-38999 connectors
Environmental Sealing IP67 – IP69 dust and moisture protection
EMI/RFI Shielding 360° coverage for signal integrity
Durability 500 – 10,000 mating cycles tested
Materials Aluminum, stainless steel, or composite shells
Coupling Styles Threaded, bayonet, push-pull
Temperature Range −55 °C to +150 °C
Standards MIL-STD-810 & RTCA DO-160 environmental testing

Additionally, XACT builds to spec — not stock. Every assembly undergoes AS9100-certified inspection and traceable testing for regulated industries.

Applications That Rely on It

Industry Example Systems
Defense & Military Soldier-worn radios, targeting systems, UAV payloads
Aerospace Avionics modules, cockpit controls, navigation units
Robotics Autonomous ground vehicles, sensor arrays
Energy & Industrial Downhole inspection tools, portable instrumentation
Medical & Emergency Ruggedized wearables and field equipment

Built-to-Spec Customization Options

XACT EMS provides factory-integrated Mighty Mouse assemblies with:

  • Overmolding and strain relief for harsh environments (view our overmolding capabilities)
  • EMI/RFI-shielded backshells and ground terminations
  • Molded-in branding or traceability markings
  • Keyed configurations to prevent mismating
  • Serialized labels and lifecycle documentation

With AS9100D-certified facilities in Houston, Texas and Calgary, Canada, XACT delivers full process traceability and testing to MIL standards — ensuring every assembly performs from prototype to field deployment. Learn more about our cable repair and recertification services.

Trusted Across Critical Programs

The Mighty Mouse Connector has earned its reputation in real-world systems that cannot afford failure — from fighter cockpits to tactical radios to space-constrained robotic controls. Meanwhile, XACT’s integration services extend that value through complete cable solutions and testing.

Let’s Build Your Next Project to Spec — Not Stock.
