MIL-DTL-83517A
6.5 Definitions.
6.5.1 Hermetic-sealed connector. A connector which is intended to mount on a surface and provide
a specific maximum leak rate both internally through the connector, and externally at the mounting
surface.
6.5.2 Pressurized connector. A connector which is intended to mount on a surface and provide
seals, both internally through the connector and externally at the mounting surface. The sealing
requirement may be less severe than for the hermetic-sealed connector.
6.5.3 Weatherproof connector. A connector which is intended to mount on a surface and provide a
seal to that surface.
6.5.4 Coaxial transmission line. A transmission system in which electromagnetic waves are
transmitted through a dielectric* medium bounded by two coaxial cylinders (see figure 8). The cylinders
typically are identified as inner and outer conductors.

6.5.5 Strip transmission line. A transmission system in which electromagnetic waves are transmitted
through a dielectric* medium. The inner conductor is bounded by two parallel outer conductors (see
figure 9).

6.5.6 Microstrip transmission line. A transmission system in which electromagnetic waves are
transmitted through a dielectric* medium. The strip inner conductor is typically bounded to the dielectric
medium which is bounded to an outer plate conductor (see figure 10).
