Features and Applications

AE6 Series Hermetic connector receptacles are manufactured to Conesys Europe standards and meet all the requirements of MIL-DTL-26500. AE6 Series offers hermetic connectors with bayonet and threaded coupling. These connectors are intermateable with MIL-DTL-83723 Series III connectors (except shell size 8, threaded coupling only).

AE6 series connectors are widely used on commercial, military, and aerospace systems requiring general purpose, miniature cylindrical bayonet or threaded coupling connectors.

This family of threaded and bayonet connector receptacles is available in jam-nut mounted, which incorporate O-ring seals, designed for rear panel “D” hole mounting; solder mounted, and box mounted with a Conesys P/N only.

These hermetic connectors are available in passivated stainless steel material and tin-plated mild steel. Other materials and finish can be proposed for special applications – Please consult factory.

AE6 family connectors are available with standard solder cup and eyelet terminals and also with pin tail terminals. Contacts are tin- or gold-plated. Alternative finishes are available on request.

Insert Arrangement

– Insert arrangements per MIL-STD-1554, utilizing contacts size 20, 16, and 12 are available.

Shell polarization

– Alternate key/keyway positions prevent cross mating of adjacent connectors having the same insert arrangement.

Insert Polarization

– Alternate insert clocking positions prevent cross mating of adjacent connectors having the same insert arrangement.

Interfacial Pin Insert Seal

– Raised moisture barriers around each receptacle pin, which mate into lead-in chamfers of the plug hard face socket insert, provide individual contact sealing.

Glass Insulator

– These hermetic connectors are designed with sintered compression glass as an insulator.

Special Contacts

– AE6 Series hermetic connectors are available with special contact, i.e., thermo couple (chromel, alumel, etc.). Commercial P/N only.
