it is intermateable It is particularly suitable for use on aircraft engines and in zones of severe environmental conditions on board aircraft, applying EN 2282 These connectors are distinguishable from MIL-DTL-83723 by:  the mechanical stop for coupling being achieved manually;  the coupling system having a self-locking nut that features a greater resistance to decoupling;  the variety of the functional classes and models, including models with integrated cable outlets Scope This European Standard specifies the general characteristics, the conditions for qualification acceptance and quality assurance, and the test programs and groups for threaded ring coupling circular connectors, fireresistant or non fire-resistant, intended for use in a temperature range from − 65 °C to 175 °C

type The connectors are polarized by means of keyways and keys; polarization shall be obtained before the male contacts enter the insert of the female contacts and before the coupling ring is engaged The position of the keying arrangement is given in Table Masking of the blue colour band on the receptacle provides visual indication of full coupling Only the connectors shell sizes 8,10 and 12 with size 22 contacts are mechanical scoop proof 4.2 Receptacle The receptacle may be attached by: 1) In preparation at the date of publication of this standard 2) Published by: Department of Defense
