MIL-C-24217A

Abstract

This specification covers requirements for deep submergence electrical connectors for submarine applications. These connectors shall be capable of withstanding the hydrostatic pressure range from zero pounds per square inch (1b/in²) to 10,000 1b/in², with a maximum recommended operating pressure of 6,500 1b/in². This specification also covers accessories for these connectors, such as protective caps and pressure-proof caps. Harness assemblies and complete electrical hull penetrators are not covered by this specification (see <a>6.6</a>). <br>The military part number shall consist of the letter "M", the basic number of the specification sheet, and an assigned dash number (see <a>3.1</a>) as shown in the following example: <a><img alt="DIAGRAM" /></a> <strong>Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to: Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, SEA 55z3, Department of the Navy, Washington, DC 20362 by using the self-addressed Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter.</strong> <br>The purpose of this appendix is to show in tabular form the mating connectors and to list the electrical standard drawings which are superseded by this specification. <b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> Connectors described under this specification are used primarily on submarines outboard of the pressure hull. Receptacle assemblies must be installed in an approved hull fitting for penetration of the pressure hull. <br>
