Protect Your Connectors
Mil-spec connectors are designed to perform in harsh environments. However, you can add extra protection to your interconnect system by using a number of connector accessories. When your connectors are not mated, it is best to keep them out of harm’s way and sealed from environmental hazards with a protective cover or stowage receptacle. Cable bushings, mounting gaskets, and mounting bracket with sealing screws can help to maintain the environmental integrity of your enclosure by sealing the mounting location.
Cable Bushing
A Neoprene bushing provides additional environmental sealing at the back of the connector where the cable bundle enters. It also protects the cable jacket from friction or wear against the strain relief clamps.
- Provides additional environmental seal
- Protects wire jackets from friction
- Available as an option in PM Series only (bushings come standard with HM Series)
- Compatible with MIl-DTL-5015 and MIL-DTL-26482 Series 1 connectors
Protective Covers
Unmated connectors should always be paired with protective covers to environmentally seal and protect the contacts from impact or damage. Covers also keep dirt and debris from the coupling mechanism, ensuring reliable mating every time.
- Seals and protects connector
- Covers are specific to plug and receptacle
- Sash chain can withstand a 25 lb tensile pull
- Compatible with MIl-DTL-5015, MIL-DTL-26482, MIL-DTL-38999, & MIL-DTL-83723
Stowage Receptacle
Prevent operator injury or connector damage by providing a safe place to stow and organize your unused cables. Protective covers are recommended to keep stowage receptacles clean and dry.
- Stores and safely isolates unused cables
- Covers keep unused stowage receptacles clean and dry
- Compatible with plug connectors for MIl-DTL-5015, MIL-DTL-26482, MIL-DTL-38999, & MIL-DTL-83723
Mounting Gasket
Mounting gaskets will seal the mounting space between the receptacles and the panel to maintain the environmental integrity of your enclosure. They may be used in either rear or front mount receptacle installations.
- Maintains environmental integrity of enclosure
- Can be used for front or rear panel mounting
- RFI shielding, low-temperature, and chemical-resistant fluorosilicone gaskets available
- Compatible with flange connectors for MIl-DTL-5015, MIL-DTL-26482, MIL-DTL-38999, & MIL-DTL-83723
Mounting Bracket & Screws
Mounting brackets with captive stainless steel locking nuts provide a safety measure to prevent loose fasteners from falling into susceptible areas, which may cause equipment failure. Optional sealing screws with O-rings will effectively seal the mounting holes on your enclosure from water ingress.
- Keeps connectors safely mounted
- Captive locking nuts ensure easy installation
- Optional sealing screws come pre-fitted with O-rings
- Compatible with flange connectors for MIl-DTL-5015, MIL-DTL-26482, MIL-DTL-38999, & MIL-DTL-83723
