Selected MIL-DTL-26500 Type Hermetic Receptacles—Popular Connector Designs Superseded by MIL-DTL-83723
The MIL-DTL-26500 type connector is ideally suited for use on commercial, military and aerospace interconnect systems that demand hermetic sealing and high vibration resistance in a medium density cylindrical connector. Thirty-four insert arrangements are available in both threaded and bayonet coupling styles for a wide range of applications.
Materials
Glenair MIL-DTL-26500 Hermetic connectors are offered in either passivated stainless steel or fused tin over cold rolled steel, with glass insulators fused to the connector shell, and contacts meeting a leak rate of 1 X 10-7 cc/Helium per second. Maximum design flexibility is built into the MIL-DTL-26500 hermetic connector—with a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 61 circuits per connector in a wide variety of contact arrangements IAW MIL-STD-1554. Fluorosilicone elastomer interfacial and peripheral seals ensure positive sealing with plug connectors.
Nickel-iron alloy 52 contacts—available in sizes 12, 16 and 20—depending on the layout chosen—offer a broad selection of insert arrangement options. Optional solder cup or eyelet contact terminations are standard. Contacts for other applications such as thermocouple or flex prints are also available.
