MIL-DTL-26482 PERFORMANCE WITHOUT MIS-MATING
Amphenol’s 62GB series connectors are similar to MIL-DTL-26482 but with the advantage of keyway orientation to reduce mis-mating among multiple connectors. They feature aluminum shells with brass or stainless steel options available. PEI-Genesis is one of the largest assemblers of 62GB connectors in the world. For full product specifications on Amphenol 62GB Series connectors, please see the tables below.

Features
- Rugged Shell
Machined aluminum alloy shell and hardware create an exceptionally strong connector. These connectors have been used extensively in commercial, military, and aerospace environments. Standard shells accept most MIL-DTL-26482 accessories.
- Environmentally-Sealed
Complete moisture sealing is achieved by combining four seals: shell, peripheral, interfacial, and wire. Wire seal is accomplished by multiple ripple design, exceeding the wire sealing requirements of MIL-DTL-26482.
- Resistant to Harshest Environments
These connectors will operate in temperatures from -67˚F to +257˚F (-55˚C to +125˚C) under the harshest possible conditions.
- Wide Range of Wire Guages and Current-Carrying Capability
Up to 45 amps with wire gauges from size 24 to 8 AWG wire.
- Resilient Insulator & Grommet
A resilient neoprene insulator and integrated rear-wire sealing grommet guarantees a liquid-tight assembly. Solder contacts are permanently bonded into the insulator.
- Solder Gold-Plated Contacts
62GB connector contacts are gold-plated. Socket contacts are closed to eliminate damage from test probes and to help prevent misaligned pins during engagement.
- Agency Approvals
Based on MIL-DTL-26482.

Sealing
48 hours in six feet of water per MIL-DTL-26482 4.6.14. Meets 10- and 20-day 50-95% humidity testing per MIL-STD-1344 Method 1002.2 per MIL-DTL-26482.

Mating Life
500 cycles minimum
Salt Spray
48 hours in mated conditions: 1974, clause 1.2.6.17 Severity 1 tested in mated conditions. The salt spray endurance of 62GB connectors with specific plating deviations could potentially be extended (for example, cadmium plating can withstand 500h, black zinc-nickel 200h exposure to salt spray and stainless steel as much as 2000h), but without testing, the plating on a 62GB connector performance cannot be guaranteed.
