scope:

This specification covers the performance requirements for a plug and receptacle. The connector inserts may contain multiple termini or multiple termini and electrical contacts. The connectors use removable termini, or removable termini and electrical contacts, and are capable of operating within a temperature range of -65 to +200 °C (see 1.2.1.1). These connectors are supplied under AS9100 reliability assurance program.

Description

All series include removable termini or removable termini and removable electrical contacts. All series are designed to ensure proper orientation of the mating halves prior to mating. All connectors include EMI shielding capability, with conductive finishes, which provide electrical continuity between mated shells prior to terminus/contact engagement and have the termini/contacts so located as to be protected from handling damage. Connectors specified are designed for use with termini as specified in MIL-PRF-29504 or as listed in the individual slash sheet, and shall meet the clip-to-clip dimensions specified in the individual slash sheet. The test procedures and performance requirements of this specification are oriented toward circular connector designs. Appropriate test procedures and performance requirements for other shell configurations shall be addressed in the individual detail sheet requirements.

Design Considerations

Connectors are capable of satisfactory performance during and after, as applicable, when subjected to the following environmental conditions:

Temperature
