Aircraft connectors facilitate the transmission of signals and power between different systems and equipment within an aircraft.
These connectors are enclosed in durable metal or plastic to ensure protection, featuring waterproofing and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to maintain signal integrity.
They are essential in various aircraft systems, such as instrument panels, communication, navigation equipment, and engine controls. The MIL-DTL-38999 standard by the U.S. Department of Defense outlines specifications for these connectors, emphasizing reliability and compatibility through rigorous requirements for shape, dimensions, materials, electrical performance, and EMI mitigation.
