Hi All,



I am hoping someone is more familiar than me with NATO Spec connectors.



I am installing Mode S/8.33 and a few other bits on my panel. Through the fire wall, for the signal / low power lines, I have 6026-18-32SN and 6026-18-32PN connectors. The coupling works really well and I would like to keep it if possible.



I am struggling to find a spec sheet for them, as it appears that the spec has been discontinued. I have found PT06A-18-32s but the pin layouts look different. I have found some 6026-18-32 connectors, but they are prohibitively expensive and all appear as recovered/reconditioned stock, without spec sheets.



Ideally I would like to re-use the connector and source new pins (both male and female) for it so that I can crimp new pins on to the new low power/signal lines and keep the connectors.



Does anyone have/know where I could get/simply could tell me the model of pins that I would need to order?



Best,



 Jon

Hi Jon,



Military grade hardware is prohibitively expensive - but you won't get 

better. RS and Farnell used to supply these Amphenol connectors but I 

suppose the demise of our defence industry means there is no longer a 

market for them?



You can download a datasheet from these people but you'll need to register.

Unless you already have the dedicated Amphenol crimping tool (also 

prohibitively expensive) it might pay to get the solder-bucket pins 

(these people supply them) - all you need is a good quality temperature 

controlled soldering iron, a steady hand and younger eyes than I have.

Hope that helps.
