S* – stainless steel shell, passivated
ZC*– aluminum shell, zinc cobalt finish

Corrosion Resistance
Classes A, S*, W and ZC* withstand 500-hour salt spray.
Class L withstands 48-hour salt spray.

Environmental Seal
Wired, mated connectors with specified accessories
attached, shall meet the altitude-immersion test specified in
MIL-DTL-26482 Series 2.

Fluid Resistance
Connectors resist specified immersions in MIL-PRF-7808
(lubricating oil), MIL-PRF-23699 (lubricating oil),
MIL-PRF-5606 (hydraulic fluid), M2-V Chevron oil,
Coolanol 25, ASTM D4814 (gasoline), SAE-AMS1424 Type I
(defrosting fluid), MIL-DTL-5624 (JP-5), and solvents
specified in Method 215 of MIL-STD-202.

Durability
Mated connectors withstand a minimum of 250 mating
cycles for RFI plug (MS3475) and 500 cycles for standard
plug (MS3476).

Shock and Vibration Requirements
Wired, mated connectors shall not be damaged, coupling
ring shall not loosen, and there shall be no interruption of
electrical continuity longer than one microsecond when
subjected to the following:

Shock
Mated connectors withstand a pulse of approximate half
sine wave of 300 G magnitude with duration of three
milliseconds applied in each direction of the three major axes.

Vibration
Mated connectors withstand the following vibration levels:

• Random vibration per MIL-STD-202, method 214, test
  condition II, letter J.

Shielding Effectiveness
RFI attenuation at the specified frequency meets the
requirements of MIL-DTL-26482 Series 2.

• RFI shielding effectiveness of mated connectors with
  RFI backshells is measured in a triaxial radio frequency
  leakage fixture.

Shell-to-Shell Conductivity

• With RFI spring fingers, the maximum potential drop
  shall not exceed 5 millivolts.
  
• Without spring fingers, the maximum potential drop
  shall not exceed 200 millivolts.
