Military Specification Circular Connector with Ruggedized Signal & Power

The M83513/01-BN is a mil-spec (military specification) circular connector compliant with U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) standards. It is engineered for reliable, high-performance signal and power transmission in harsh environments, with a focus on durability, environmental sealing, and mechanical ruggedness.

• Ruggedized Signal & Power Transmission: Supports both signal (e.g., data, control signals) and power transmission, with contact configurations optimized for low-resistance connectivity, ensuring stable performance in vibration or shock-prone scenarios.
• Military-Grade Environmental Sealing: Features an IP67 or higher ingress protection rating (varies by specific variant) and resistance to extreme temperatures (-55°C to +125°C typical), preventing damage from dust, moisture, oil, or chemical exposure.
• Secure Mechanical Locking: Adopts a bayonet-style locking mechanism for fast, tool-free mating and unmating. This design ensures a secure connection that resists accidental disengagement, even under high vibration (common in aerospace or ground vehicles).
• Corrosion & Wear Resistance: Contacts and housing are constructed from high-grade materials (e.g., nickel-plated brass, stainless steel) with anti-corrosion coatings, extending service life in harsh outdoor or industrial environments.
• Mil-Spec Compliance: Meets the strict requirements of MIL-DTL-83513 (Military Detail Specification for Micro-D Connectors), ensuring interchangeability and reliability across military and aerospace systems.

• Aerospace & Defense Systems: Used in aircraft avionics (e.g., flight control modules, navigation systems), military ground vehicles (e.g., communication radios, sensor arrays), and missile guidance systems, where ruggedness and reliability are critical.
• Industrial Machinery: Deployed in heavy-duty industrial equipment (e.g., construction machinery, mining sensors, offshore drilling controls), withstanding extreme temperatures, vibration, and exposure to dirt or fluids.
• Test & Measurement Equipment: Integrated into high-reliability test instruments (e.g., aerospace component testers, military equipment diagnostics) that require stable signal transmission in lab or field environments.
• Medical Devices (Rugged Variants): Applied in portable medical equipment for field use (e.g., military field hospitals, emergency response devices), where resistance to moisture and mechanical stress ensures consistent operation.
• Transportation (Heavy-Duty): Used in rail transit systems (e.g., train control units, onboard sensors) and marine vessels (e.g., shipboard communication systems), adapting to the vibration and temperature fluctuations of these environments.
