2170192-2

Pluggable connectors are the preferred solution for any critical electrical connection. In particular, 2170219-2 connectors, also known as MIL-DTL-26482 connectors, offer ultimate reliability and maximum performance.

Overview

MIL-DTL-26482 connectors are most often used in military vehicle applications. They can also be used in civil aerospace applications to advantage, where they can provide ultra-reliable and secure electrical connections. The MIL-DTL-26482 family of connectors offers 13 basic plug-in connectors and six rectangular receptacle connectors, with several options to choose from in terms of size and pin assignments. The different MIL-DTL-26482 series have environmental ratings and voltage and ampacity ratings.

Application Fields

MIL-DTL-26482 connectors are suitable for a number of situations, and are a viable alternative to hard-wired installations, providing a more modular approach and allowing for flexibility. The connectors are used in a wide range of applications, from aerospace, to ships, to armored vehicles.

Some particular areas where the connectors are used include:

• Vehicle wiring harnesses.
• Electronic instrumentation.
• Control panel wiring.
• Electrical distribution.
• Radio communication.
• Remote pickups.

Working Principle

MIL-DTL-26482 connectors have a simple principle of operation. The connectors have an insertion pin, or contact, located in the plug connector, which interacts with its corresponding shell contact in the receptacle. When the connector is mated, the contacts are pushed together and the connector is held in place by a spring-loaded detent. The contacts are then electrically connected. As the connector is un-mated,the contacts are pulled apart and the connector is released.

In addition to providing a reliable electrical connection, MIL-DTL-26482 connectors are also designed to be highly durable. The contacts are made from stainless steel and the connectors are designed to be highly resistant to shock, vibration, and EMP.

Conclusion

MIL-DTL-26482 connectors are a durable, reliable, and cost-effective solution for a number of critical electrical connections. The connectors offer flexible options for a variety of applications, and are designed for maximum performance and ultimate reliability.
