Feature MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified provides traceable aerospace-grade performance with validated reliability. Business Impact Improved fault tolerance and long-term availability in mission-critical automation applications, reducing downtime and warranty costs. Application Used in rugged industrial panels and defense-related equipment where MIL-spec connectors are required. Feature Square flange receptacle with backnut simplifies panel mounting and sealing, enabling quicker installation and repeatable alignment. Business Impact Shortened installation time and improved sealing integrity translate to lower field labor costs and reduced risk of ingress. Application Suitable for backnut-enabled assemblies in tight panel spaces, including control cabinets and machine housings. Feature 8 pin, solder cup contacts delivered in a single receptacle with pin (male) contacts provides plug-and-play efficiency. Business Impact Fast harness integration and robust solder connections minimize assembly errors and enhance vibration resistance. Application Ideal for fixed-wiring configurations in automation lines and robotic interfaces. Feature 1/3 bayonet coupling enables rapid mating/demating, reducing maintenance time during field upgrades. Business Impact Time-to-service reductions and easier field swaps for technicians, improving uptime. Application Applicable to high-vibration environments where quick coupling is advantageous. Feature Cadmium plating on an aluminium shell delivers corrosion resistance with light weight. Business Impact Extended lifecycle in challenging environments, lowering replacement frequency and total cost of ownership. Application Suitable for outdoor or harsh indoor settings with exposure to contaminants. Feature Shell size 16 and dimensions (32.7 mm length, 31.3 mm height and width) provide a compact footprint for dense panel layouts. Business Impact The smaller footprint supports higher I/O density on control panels and easier routing of cables. Application Retrofit or upgrade projects where space is at a premium. Feature REACH environmental compliance ensures low-risk material usage across European supply chains. Business Impact Regulatory alignment reduces compliance risk and streamlines procurement. Application Global manufacturing and assembly environments with strict environmental standards.
