MIL-DTL-24231 covers the family of pressure-proof connectors that the US Navy has specified since the late 1950s: single and multiple cable connectors, plugs, receptacles, adapters, hull inserts and hull insert plugs. Gender and function are fixed by the slash sheet and dash number rather than selected at order, so always quote the complete M24231/x-xxx number including the dash number. Note the material split between the two halves — polyurethane insulator and copper contacts on the plug, epoxy insulator and alloy contacts on the receptacle — which is why plug and receptacle parts are not interchangeable.
