Widely used in aerospace applications, TE’s MIL-DTL-26482 Standard Series II bayonet connector is miniature, circular with quick disconnect bayonet coupling. It is also known as DEUTSCH AFD Series Connector, is widely used on applications requiring a general-purpose, miniature cylindrical bayonet connector. It is environmentally sealed and offered in four receptacle-mounting styles including: narrow and wide flange wall-mounting, cable connecting and jam nut mounting receptacles. Designed to eliminate failure modes characteristic of many previous devices, TE’s MIL-DTL-26482 Standard miniature bayonet connector stands out as a reliable connector for aerospace environments.
Insertion and removal of contacts from the rear of the connector assures no damage to the front that might affect the sealing characteristics.Utilizes same standard qualified rear-release type plastic tool for contact insertion and removal.Closed entry socket side of the insert is designed with a lead-in chamfer and a hard face that will accept a pin contact bent within pre-established limits.Elastomer interfacial seal on the pin side has raised barriers around each pin which displace into the socket chamber when mated, providing a positive moisture seal.
MIL-DTL-26482 is a circular, flat-to-flat electrical connector specification established by the United States military. The specification defines three types of connectors, namely Type I, Type II, and Type III, which are categorized as standard, medium, and heavy-duty, respectively.
