Why military-spec connectors?

Although the connector is not a military invention, but in national defense, aviation and other fields, need to use the connector technology. As commercial air travel exploded in the early 20th century, the connector industry took off with it. What do you know about military connectors?

Why military specifications?

Ruggedness: Many military connectors are designed for harsh conditions. Whether it's tropical heat or Arctic cold, military equipment must work in some of the toughest environments on earth. This makes them ideal for use in industrial applications where similar conditions are likely to be encountered. From the battlefield to the mining industry, or from field signaling equipment to outdoor broadcast trucks, military-sized connectors can solve industrial problems.

Familiarity: By designing connectors that meet common standards, manufacturers create a range of products for use by thousands of users worldwide, which means a large number of people with practical experience installing and operating these connectors. There are benefits from operator training to tool availability, all of which make it easier for industrial customers to adopt these connectors.
