    Mil. Spec. Compatible Connectors

    Connectors secure with a quarter turn when mated, yet unlock and pull apart with minimal force. All have the same pin and socket configurations as MIL-DTL-26482, so they are compatible with other products that meet the same standard. They’re rated IP67 to protect against dust and temporary submersion. When mating connectors, the gender and housing lock location must be opposite. Poles are labeled with letters on the face of the connectors to ensure proper connection.
