MIL-SPEC connectors and IEC standards

MIL-SPEC connectors and IEC standards - qualification of Fischer Connectors

Our military connectors are engineered to withstand extreme operational environments, such as vibration, shock, rain, humidity, salt fog, sand/dust, or temperature; our military connectors are mostly tested according to IEC standards. See table below for cross-reference of IEC standards versus MIL-SPEC.
