MIL-DTL-26482 / MIL-C-26482 Series Miniature Circular Connectors
STA offers a comprehensive range of high-performance MIL-DTL-26482 series connectors (formerly known as MIL-C-26482), engineered for reliable environment-resistant power and signal transmission in high-density installations. Featuring a quick-disconnect 3-point bayonet coupling mechanism, these miniature cylindrical connectors provide exceptional vibration resistance, positive mating assurance, and superior environmental sealing for harsh industrial and military applications.
As a premier interconnection manufacturer, STA specialized in delivering full Cross Reference and Drop-in Replacement
components. Our 26482 series is fully intermateable and interchangeable with Amphenol PT Series, ITT Cannon KPT/KPSE, and Souriau 851 Series, providing global distributors, procurement managers, and design engineers with a highly cost-effective, factory-direct alternative without compromising quality.
