Features and Applications

AE1 Series hermetic connector receptacles are manufactured to Conesys Europe standards and meet all the requirements of MIL-DTL-38999 Series I.

AE1 is a bayonet coupling subminiature configuration with high contact density for harsh-environment applications. These environment-resisting connectors are 100% “scoop-proof.” Pins are recessed in elongated shells to prevent the possibility of bending contacts when plugs are scooped into the mating receptacles.

This family of connectors is available in 3 receptacle mounting styles: square flange, jam nut, and solder mount. 9 shell sizes and insert arrangements utilizing sizes 22D, 20, 16, 12, and 8 contacts are available.

Customer-specific designs can be proposed for special applications – Consult factory for details.

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

MIL-STD-1560 Insert Arrangement

– AE1 Series hermetic connectors use standard insert arrangement.

Customer-Specific Insert Arrangement

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

Scoop-Proof Design

– Recessed pins in elongated shells minimize the possibility of contact damage. In a blind-mating application, mating shells cannot “scoop” the pins and cause a shorting or bending of contacts.

Interfacial Pin Insert Seal

– Raised moisture barriers around each receptacle pin, which mate into lead-in chamfers of the plug hard face

Glass Insulator

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

Special Contacts

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