Features and Applications

AE2 Series hermetic connector receptacles are manufactured to Conesys Europe standards and meet all the requirements of MIL-DTL-38999 Series II.

AE2 Series connectors feature a bayonet coupling mechanism with lower profile design.

These connectors were designed for military and commercial applications where the prime requirements are lower profile and lighter weight.

Reduction of both size and weight were achieved through the use of thinner shell walls and length restrictions. These design restrictions reduce the RFI attenuation characteristics and eliminate the “scoop” protection, while yielding an excellent general-purpose, lightweight connector. Compared with AE1 Series, AE2 Series connectors achieved up to 20% reduction in mated pair length, up to 39% reduction in outside diameter and up to 40% reduction in weight (128-pin mated pair).

This family of connectors is available in 4 receptacle mounting styles. Square flange, box mounting, jam nut, and solder mount.

9 shell sizes and insert arrangements utilizing sizes 22D, 20, 16 and 12 contacts are available.

Customer-specific design 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

– AE2 Series hermetic connectors can be proposed with special insert arrangement – Please consult factory.

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..

Shell Polarization

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