MIL-C-24231 Series Connectors
M24231 series connectors are manufactured and tested in accordance with the strict requirements of MIL-C-24231 (Navy). They are available in all standard shell sizes and contact configurations, ranging from 3 pin to 40 pin. Plugs can be supplied terminated and molded into water-proof cable assemblies or supplied in kit form. A metal shell GRE overcoated version is available for applications where cathodic delamination is a problem. This version also offers a GRE backed polyurethane insert which eliminates water leakage through the connector when cable damage occurs. Choose one of the standard shell configurations or have one custom designed for your particular requirement.
