In stock at Powell Electronics, the supplier of connectors and more for high-rel
applications including defence, aerospace and industrial, are Series 806 Mil-Aero connectors
from Glenair. The products offer significant size and weight savings while meeting key
performance benchmarks for a broad range of applications such as commercial and military
aerospace, industrial robotics, transportation systems and more.
Designed for use in harsh vibration, shock and environmental settings — as well as high-
altitude, unpressurized aircraft zones with aggressive voltage ratings and altitude immersion
standards, Series 806 connectors feature numerous mechanical design innovations including
durable mechanical insert retention, radial seals and triple-ripple grommet seals. The reduced
thread pitch and re-engineered ratchet prevents decoupling problems which solves one of the
major problems of shell size 9 and 11 MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors.
Glenair Series 806 Mil-Aero connectors feature size 22HD and 20HD contacts as well as size 8
power and high speed El Ochito®, quadrax, and fiber optic options. The devices offer up to
twice the number of contacts with no reduction in performance. Independent laboratory
testing has demonstrated that the connectors meet, and in many cases even exceed, the
requirements of the MIL-DTL-38999 specification. A “top hat” insulator with raised bosses
ensures foolproof alignment of insulator cavities. An O-ring radial interface sealing design
instead of a flat gasket allows for easier metal-to-metal coupling, improved sealing, and better
EMI performance.
