MIL-DTL-26482 Bayonet Connectors

Widely used in aerospace applications, TE’s MIL-DTL-26482 Standard Series II bayonet connector is miniature, circular with quick disconnect bayonet coupling. It is also known as DEUTSCH AFD Series Connector, is widely used on applications requiring a general-purpose, miniature cylindrical bayonet connector. It is environmentally sealed and offered in four receptacle-mounting styles including: narrow and wide flange wall-mounting, cable connecting and jam nut mounting receptacles. Designed to eliminate failure modes characteristic of many previous devices, TE’s MIL-DTL-26482 Standard miniature bayonet connector stands out as a reliable connector for aerospace environments.
