MS27497T8B35SA MIL-DTL-38999 Series II Jam Nut Receptacle

MS27497 Military Connectors Series Specifications

Product Overview

The MS27497 circular connector is a high-performance electrical connector designed for demanding aerospace, military, and industrial applications. Manufactured in accordance with the MIL-DTL-38999 Series II standard, this connector delivers reliable electrical connections and strong environmental resistance in challenging operating conditions.

The MS27497 connector is commonly used as a jam nut receptacle, allowing secure installation through panels and enclosures. Its compact circular design supports high-density electrical connections while maintaining excellent mechanical stability.

Jam Nut Receptacle Design

One of the distinguishing features of the MS27497 connector is its jam nut mounting configuration. This design allows the connector to be securely installed from the front of a panel and tightened using a jam nut from the rear side.

This mounting style offers several advantages:

• Simple and secure panel installation
• Strong mechanical retention
• Reduced installation space requirements
• Reliable long-term stability

Because of these benefits, MS27497 connectors are widely used in aerospace panels, military control systems, and electronic equipment where space and reliability are critical.

Compliance with MIL-DTL-38999 Series II

The MS27497 connector follows the MIL-DTL-38999 Series II specification, a widely recognized military standard for high-reliability circular connectors.

Connectors built to this standard are designed to operate under extreme environmental conditions, including:

• High vibration environments
• Wide temperature ranges
• Mechanical shock
• Exposure to dust and moisture

This level of durability ensures reliable performance in mission-critical systems.

Electrical Performance

MS27497 connectors provide stable electrical transmission through precision-engineered contacts and high-quality conductive materials. The design minimizes electrical resistance and supports consistent signal integrity.

The circular connector configuration also allows for efficient cable routing and reliable mating cycles, making the connector suitable for equipment requiring repeated connection and disconnection.

Typical Applications

The MS27497 circular connector is widely used in industries that require dependable electrical connectivity.

Typical applications include:

• Aerospace avionics systems
• Military communication equipment
• Radar and navigation systems
• Defense electronics
• Industrial control systems

Selection Considerations

When selecting an MS27497 connector for your project, confirm the mating plug configuration, required pin arrangement, and cable entry style before ordering. Verify that the shell size and insert arrangement match your panel cutout and wiring plan.
