MIL-DTL-27599D
4.6.21 Resistance to probe damage (see 3.25). Contact shall be tested for probe damage in
accordance with test procedure EIA 364-25, type 2. The following details and exceptions shall apply:
a. The diameter of the handle (.190) does not apply.
b. Probe depth, dimension "B" shall be ½ and ¾ of the specified minimum socket bore depth or
as specified (see 3.1).
4.6.22 Nonmagnetic materials (see 3.3.4). Connectors shall be tested as specified in test procedure
EIA 364-54.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the
contract or order (6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor
personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging
requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging
activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the military service system command.
Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's
automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not
mandatory).
6.1 Intended use. The various configurations of the connectors are intended for use as follows:
a. Series I connectors: General application within weapon systems where a quick disconnect
coupling system is required for blind mating or other mating problem areas.
Class T, general duty, no provisions are made for sealing around wires on rear end.
Class P, intended for use in applications where sealing around wires is accomplished by
potting.
b. Series II connectors: General application within weapon systems which are not subjected to
high vibration or SWAMP areas. These connectors are not scoop proof (see 6.1.1);
connectors are lightweight.
c.
Series I and II are intermateable with series I and II respectively of MIL-DTL-38999.
6.1.1 Application guidance. Users of connectors, covered by this specification, in new design systems
and support equipment are advised to evaluate carefully for each application the relative merits of the
long shell series I and short shell series II connectors. When considering use of the short shell series II
connectors, the following areas must be evaluated:
a. Series II connectors are vulnerable to pin contact bending from scooping, with contact size
22 being the most vulnerable.
b. Use of series II connectors should be voided in areas of blind mating.
