Overview:

Consistent with the tradition of high standards of military products, military connectors are specially designed for the armed forces' needs for durable and highly reliable products. These connectors are of different shapes and sizes and are used in many fields from communication offices to the front lines of war to naval warships. Like soldiers, military connectors are also designed to be robust and precise.

Military connector definition:

The original military connector was developed in the 1930s for aviation and tactical service applications. Among them, the land and sea series (AN type) had a profound influence on all subsequent connectors and set the standard for modern military circular connectors. These connectors are called military standard (MIL-STD) connectors, or are known by the informal scientific name "military connectors", and are often used in the aviation, industrial, marine, and automotive industries. The most common types of connectors used in military applications include round (ie D38999) or rectangular (ie M24308) connectors. Although the vast majority of military connectors are designed in the United States, they are actually sold all over the world. The military connector reflects the military's emphasis on consistency, accuracy, and high strength, and has assisted the army, navy, and air force in a series of applications. These connectors are manufactured in accordance with military specifications, and the military part codes printed along with them make them easy to identify and purchase among many merchant products.


use:

Every year, new functions of military connectors will be produced with the development and progress of military technology. Military connectors are often used in communications, navigation, radar, electronic warfare, and aviation and navigation guidance and control. However, emerging needs continue to create new uses for connectors and also put forward new requirements for them. After years of development, connectors have become smaller, lighter, safer, and have increased bandwidth and reduced energy consumption. They have also made corresponding adjustments according to the hidden dangers and environmental protection requirements of their respective workplaces, thus becoming more robust and durable. These durable connectors can withstand the test of scorching heat, strong winds, and even sudden floods, and are able to meet challenges at any time. They are also resistant to shock and vibration so that the connections they build will not slip off during bumpy transportation—whether on an airplane undergoing turbulence, a truck driving on rugged terrain, or a storm at sea. On the ship. The specially designed product structure enables the military connector to withstand the harsh working environment. For example, military communication systems often use optical fiber technology that is not affected by noise to support the transmission of multiple audios, video, and data over long distances and broadband. In addition, as more manufacturers produce optical fibers, the cost of optical fibers is gradually decreasing, making this material more affordable. At the same time, fiber optic products also provide intrusion protection (IP) grade product design options (understand IP67 waterproof connectors). Customized versions of these products can also be equipped with armored fiber cables and impact-resistant plug-in cables.


Adopt standard:

One result of this growth is the idea of ​​a standardized model. By creating and implementing standard designs, the safety of manufactured products can be ensured almost anywhere, provided that it is compatible with equivalent products manufactured elsewhere. Today, this legacy is left on us in the form of military standards (often called military specifications).

In the connector industry, nothing is more real than this, probably because the connector is the interface between the system and the device. Military platforms such as airplanes or ships are assembled from various subsystems, all of which are manufactured by different companies. Using military specifications to define the connector interface ensures that the final assembly is simple and straightforward.

However, the widespread use of connectors in various situations means that there is now a confusing range of military specifications to choose from.
