Aerospace Connectors

Aerospace electrical connectors typically have a fine threaded hermetically sealed coupling which is self locking. They are used for aero engines, undercarriages, APUs and aircraft pylon applications and are connectors for harsh environments.

All aircraft electrical connectors are generally intermatable connectors and interchangeable with milaero connectors in accordance with MIL-C-83723 series III and NF-L-54143 standards.

The connector shells are Stainless Steel and the connector inserts, Silicone.

Contacts are Solder type, non removable, and gold plated.

Aerospace connectors are typically approved for temperature ranges of -65C to  +260C.

Typical Standards and Quality Approvals are

EN2997

SBAC ESC10

Boeing BACC63

EN3155

ESC30

MIL-C-39029

MIL-C-83723 Series III

Milaero connectors

The approval process for military requirements has regard to both electrical performance and mechanical integrity under extreme conditions.

Milaero connectors often use a quick-disconnect bayonet-lock coupling with rear-release removable crimp contacts.

Hermetic seals prevent leakage through the bulkhead from the inside of the connector. These connectors are designed for bulkhead mounting in vacuum chambers, or where there might be toxic and other gases.

Standard non-hermeticconnector types could leak between the contacts and dielectrics. Hermetically sealed connectors are reliable under the most severe atmospheric conditions.

Rugged design offers the maximum resistance to vibration and shock and provides effective EMI shielding.
