Military Department or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the
responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. These connectors are intended for general military use. Connector installations should be
designed to assure that connectors are mated within the limits specified in 3.4.5. The class and types of connectors
are intended for application as follows:
a.
Classes G and N connectors are intended for use in applications where the operating temperature range
-55° to +125°C is experienced. Crimp contact connectors have the additional advantage of possessing
removable crimp-type contacts.
b.
Class N connectors are intended for use in applications where the presence of residual magnetism must be
held to very low levels to avoid interference with nearby sensitive instrumentation.
c.
Class H receptacles are intended for use in applications where atmospheric pressures must be contained by
the connectors across the wall or panels on which they are mounted. If air leakage requirements are critical,
a class H connector should be used.
d.
Crimp contact connectors should have contacts present in all positions when the connector is installed.
25
MIL-DTL-24308G
w/AMENDMENT 2
e.
Classes D, K, and M connectors are for high reliability space applications.
f.
Connector installations should be designed to assure that connectors are mated within the limits specified
in 3.4.5.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a.
Title, number, and date of the specification.
b.
Title, number, and date of the applicable specification sheet and the complete PIN (see 3.1).
c. Packaging requirement (see 5.1).
6.3 Qualification. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made only for products which are,
at the time of award of contract, qualified for inclusion in Qualified Products List QPL No. 24308 whether or not such
products have actually been so listed by that date. The attention of the contractors is called to these requirements, and
manufacturers are urged to arrange to have the products that they propose to offer to the Federal Government tested
for qualification in order that they may be eligible to be awarded contracts or orders for the products covered by this
specification. Information pertaining to qualification of products may be obtained from Defense Supply Center
Columbus (DSCC-VQ), Document Control Unit, Columbus, OH 43218-3990 or e mail [email protected]. An online

6.5 Definitions.
6.5.1 Overall finish. A finish having a specified minimum thickness applied over the entire surface area, such as
barrel plating technique or other nonselective plating techniques, etc.
6.5.2 Localized finish. A finish having a specified minimum thickness applied to a definite area, such as, clad, inlay,
welded dot, selective plating technique, etc.
6.5.3 Gold finish. A finish having an unspecified thickness of gold not requiring a specific thickness.
6.6 Specification sheet selection. Use table XIV to determine desired connector specification sheet from the
features listed.
6.7 Tin whisker growth. The use of alloys with tin content greater than 97 percent may exhibit tin whisker growth
problems after manufacture. Tin whiskers may occur anytime from a day to years after, and can develop under typical
operation conditions on products that use such materials. Conformal coatings applied over top of a whisker-prone
surface will not prevent the formation of tin whiskers. Alloys of 3 percent lead have shown to inhibit the growth of tin
whiskers.
