MIL-DTL-26482 Series I vs Series II — Selection Wizard

Answer 5 application questions. Get a Series recommendation and the reasoning behind it.

1. What kind of program is this for?

New design / clean-sheet program Aircraft, UAV, satellite, new defense platform Legacy maintenance / drop-in spare Existing fleet with installed-base requirement Mixed — new build but must mate with legacy Hybrid program with existing connector population

2. What is the field service expectation?

Field repair / contact swap expected Tactical, deployable, or maintenance-intensive Fixed installation, replaced not repaired Sealed enclosure, no field access

3. Does the application require hermetic sealing?

Yes — pressure barrier / vacuum chamber / glass-to-metal seal Submarine bulkhead, satellite payload, hermetic feedthrough No — standard environmental sealing (IP67) is sufficient

4. Is weight a critical design constraint?

Yes — every gram matters UAV, satellite, man-portable, missile Standard — minor benefit but not driving the design

5. What is your compliance baseline?

AS9100 / IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3 audit-ready Mission-critical aerospace or defense Commercial / industrial harsh-environment Lower compliance overhead, cost-sensitive
