Custom Military Cable Assembly Capabilities
Each military circular connector cable assembly is evaluated according to the complete connector designation, shell style, shell size, insert arrangement, contact type, cable construction and wiring requirements.
Connector compatibility and electrical suitability cannot be determined from contact count alone. The complete part numbers, shell size, insert arrangement, contact size, alternate insert position, pin or socket contact type, mating interface, voltage and current requirements, and required pinout should be confirmed before production.
Connector and Cable Options
Available options include connector series, exact connector part number, plug or receptacle shell style, pin or socket contact type, shell size, insert arrangement, straight or right-angle connector or backshell orientation, cable length, conductor size, shielding structure, strain relief, overmolding, open-wire termination, labels and custom pin-to-pin wiring.
Understanding Shell Style and Contact Type
Plug and receptacle describe the connector shell style, while pin and socket describe the installed contact type. These terms should not be used interchangeably.
A plug connector may contain either pin contacts or socket contacts. For the 5015 and 26482 Series examples shown on this page, the P and S suffixes identify pin and socket contact types rather than plug and receptacle shell styles. Complete part-number definitions should still be confirmed against the applicable connector documentation.

Complete connector part number, including shell style, shell size, insert arrangement, class and contact suffix. |
|
End B Connector |
Complete connector part number or the required open-wire, stripped, tinned, ferruled, terminal-terminated or equipment-side interface. The final termination method should be confirmed according to the wire size and project drawing. |
|
Shell and Contact Type |
Plug or receptacle shell style and pin or socket contact type for each cable end. |
|
Insert Arrangement |
Shell size, insert code, contact count, contact size and required alternate insert position. |
|
Electrical Requirements |
Required operating voltage, current per circuit, signal type and any applicable creepage, clearance or insulation requirements. |

Required finished length and the measurement datum, such as connector face to connector face or cable exit to cable exit. |
|
Wire Construction |
Conductor count, wire gauge, conductor colors, insulation, jacket material and flexibility requirements. |
|
Pinout |
Pin-to-pin wiring table, circuit function, wire color assignment and any unused, commoned or internally connected contacts. |
|
Shielding and Grounding |
Unshielded, overall shielded or individually shielded construction, together with the required shield termination and grounding method. |

Inspection and Testing Options
Inspection and test requirements are confirmed according to the approved drawing and project specification. Available checks may include connector identification, dimensional inspection, pinout verification, continuity testing, short-circuit testing, insulation resistance testing, dielectric withstand testing and visual inspection of the backshell, heat-shrink or overmolded area.
Required acceptance criteria, test voltage, test duration, documentation format and sampling plan should be specified before quotation.
Compliance and Documentation
The use of a connector part number associated with a military specification does not automatically mean that the completed cable assembly is qualified or certified to that specification. Unless explicitly stated and documented, qualification should not be assumed from the connector series or part number alone. Required connector manufacturer, component traceability, inspection records, test reports, first-article documentation and other compliance requirements should be confirmed before quotation.
