The table on the left demonstrates overall improved density compared to D38999 across all shell sizes for size 20HD in the Series 806 (the blue line) and size 20 in the 38999 (the orange line). The table on the right compares 38999 with size 22 contacts (the red line), 38999 with size 23 contacts (the green line), and series 806 with size 22HD contacts (the blue line). Again, the Series 806 Mil-Aero delivers significantly improved contact density and package miniaturization.
