MIL-DTL-28804D
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or order (see 6.2).
When actual packaging of material is to be performed by DoD personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible
packaging activity to ascertain requisite packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control
Point's packaging activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency, or within the Military Department's 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 contracting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature which may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. All connectors and contacts covered by this specification are intended for use in airborne, ground support,
and shipboard electrical and electronic equipment where presence of residual magnetism must be held to very low levels to avoid
interference with nearby sensitive instrumentation. The connectors and contacts covered by this specification are military unique
because they must be able to operate at high altitude (70,000 feet (21.34 km) maximum), operate at a temperature range of -55 C
to +125 C, withstand 48 hours of salt spray (without exposure of base metals, pitting and porosity of finishes), and 100 g's of shock
with no electrical discontinuities. Commercial electronic connectors and contacts are not designed to withstand such extreme and
sudden environmental conditions and would experience catastrophic failure.
a. Class G connectors are intended for use in non-environment resisting applications where the operating temperature range
of -55 C to +125 C is experienced. Crimp contact connectors have the additional advantage of possessing rear
removable crimp type contacts.
b. Class P connectors are intended for environmental resisting applications where sealing around wires is accomplished by
potting.
c. Class E connectors are intended for environmental resisting applications. Provisions are made for sealing around wire at
rear of connectors. Crimp contact connectors have the advantage of possessing rear release crimp type contacts.
d. Class S connectors are supplied with nonremovable solder post termination's. This connector is intended for use with
flexible printed circuits conforming to the pin pattern and thread inserts are provided for securing printed circuit to rear of
connector.
e. Class SE connectors are supplied with nonremovable solder post termination and interfacial seal. They are for use with
the same circuitry as the class S connectors.
f. All classes of connectors are for use in applications wherein presence of residual magnetism must be held to very low
levels to avoid interference with nearby sensitive instrumentation.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of the specification.
b. Title, number, and date of the applicable specification sheet, and the complete PIN (see 1.2.2 and 3.1).
c. Certificate of compliance covering materials, when required.
d. Issue of DODISS to be cited in the solicitation, and if required, the specific issue of individual documents referenced
(see 2.1 and 2.2).
e. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
6.3 Qualification. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made only for products which are, at the time of
award of contract, qualified for inclusion in Qualified Products List QPL No. 28804 whether or not such products have actually been
so listed by that date. The attention of the contractors is called to these requirements, and manufacturers are urged to arrange to
have the products that they propose to offer to the Federal Government tested for qualification in order that they may be eligible to
be awarded contracts or orders for the products covered by this specification. The activity responsible for the Qualified Products
List is Space and Naval Warfare Command, (SPAWAR 003-121), Department of the Navy, Washington, D.C. 20363. Information
pertaining to qualification of products may be obtained from the Defense Supply Center Columbus, P.O. Box 3990, ATTN: DSCC-
VQ, Columbus, Ohio 43216-5001. Application procedures should conform to the "Provisions Governing Qualification" (see 6.3.1).
