PT00A-12-10P MIL-DTL-26482 Wall-Mount Connector Overview

PT00A-12-10P is a 10-position wall-mount circular connector from the MIL-DTL-26482 PT Series, engineered for industrial control systems, instrumentation, and harsh-environment electronics. Its aluminum alloy shell with olive drab cadmium plating and bayonet locking mechanism provides secure, rapid mating in space-constrained panels. The connector is designed for buyers who need a dependable, field-proven interface for signal and power transmission in demanding conditions.

Key Selection Considerations

• Configuration: 10-position wall-mount receptacle with male contacts, solder termination, and bayonet coupling for quick, secure locking.
• Electrical Performance: Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure low contact resistance (≤20 mΩ) and high insulation resistance (>5000 MΩ) for stable signal integrity.
• Environmental Durability: IP67-rated protection against dust and water ingress, with an operating temperature range of −55 °C to +125 °C for extreme environments.
• Material Quality: Corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy housing and gold-plated contacts support long service life in industrial and military applications.

Application Fit and Boundaries

This connector is well-suited for industrial control panels, test instrumentation, and communication systems where reliable, sealed connections are required. It is also appropriate for military and aerospace equipment that demands MIL-DTL-26482 compliance. However, it is not intended for high-vibration applications requiring threaded coupling, nor for submersible use beyond its IP67 rating while mated. For applications needing a plug variant, consider the PT06A MIL-DTL-26482 plug.

Installation and Mating Guidance

Proper installation requires preparing the cable and panel opening according to the connector's mounting dimensions. Solder termination demands careful preparation of conductors to avoid cold joints. When mating, ensure the bayonet coupling is fully engaged to maintain the IP67 seal. For a complete system, verify the mating plug part number and pinout against your wiring diagram before assembly.

Buyer Inquiry Checklist

To ensure correct selection and compatibility, please provide the following details when inquiring:

• Mating plug or receptacle part number and gender
• Pinout or wiring schematic
• Cable outside diameter and conductor size
• Electrical load (current and voltage) per contact
• Environmental requirements (temperature, moisture, vibration)
• Required order quantity and lead time
