Simplifies maintenance and replacement: Standardized form factor and pin arrangements make the connector easy to swap during repairs or upgrades without custom adaptors. Versatile compatibility: Intended for use with equipment designed to U.S. military aviation connector standards, enabling interoperability across systems and suppliers. Primary attributes Functionality: Provides a reliable electrical interface between wiring harnesses, avionics modules, sensors, and other aircraft systems; supports power, signal, and data circuits depending on pin configuration. Compatibility: Conforms to U.S. military aviation connector standards for form, fit, and electrical contact arrangements to ensure interchangeability with equipment built to the same standards. Size and form factor: Standardized dimensions suitable for panelmounted or inline applications; available in plug (male) and socket (female) versions for mating pairs. Construction and materials: Rugged shell and precision contacts engineered for long service life and repeatable mating; finishes and insulators chosen to withstand aviation operating conditions. Performance: Engineered to maintain electrical continuity under vibration and shock, and to tolerate the temperature and environmental ranges expected in aviation and military applications. Ease of installation: Designed for field serviceability with clear indexing for correct mating, and accessible termination points for wiring or cable assemblies. Common applications Avionics and flight control systems: Connects instruments, navigation modules, radios, and flight control electronics where secure, lowresistance connections are essential. Aircraft and ground support wiring harnesses: Used in cable assemblies for mission systems, power distribution, and data links on military and commercial aircraft and support equipment. Test equipment and maintenance fixtures: Provides reliable, repeatable connections for troubleshooting, bench testing, or temporary installations during maintenance cycles. What to expect when using this connector Consistent mating feel and a positive locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection. Durable contact performance over many insertion/removal cycles with low contact resistance. Compatibility with equipment and cable assemblies designed to U.S. military aviation connector standards, facilitating swaps and repairs without custom modifications. Installation and maintenance tips Verify pin alignment and orientation before mating to avoid contact damage. Use recommended tools and torque values for panel or cable terminations to ensure longterm reliability. Inspect contacts and shell for debris or damage during routine maintenance; clean with approved solvents and procedures if required. if contacts show signs of wear, corrosion, or if mating becomes loose. Ordering and selection guidance Confirm the required pin count, contact arrangement, and mounting style (panel or cable) for your application. Match the connector to the mating counterpart built to the same U.S. military aviation standard to ensure correct fit and performance. If environmental sealing or specific plating is required for a particular installation, verify those options against the equipment's environmental and electrical requirements. This U.S. Military Standard Aviation Plug Socket Connector is intended for professionals who require a reliable, standardized electrical connection in aviation and military environments. It supports maintenance, integration, and missioncritical systems where interchangeability and dependable performance matter.
