The Amphenol
®
348 Series connector
provides reliability and high contact
density. 348 Series is a commercial
equivalent to MIL-C-81511, not qualified
to MIL-C-81511, these connectors can
accommodate a minimum of three
circuits to a maximum of one hundred
and fifty five circuits.
Amphenol
®
348 Series connectors
are available in two basic construc-
tions: Long (Series I) and Standard
(Series II). The Series I features
100%
scoop-proof
construction
(potential contact damage minimized
by recessed pins). Series II, Standard
connectors are scoop-proof when the
pin contacts are specified in the
receptacle shell only.
Each construction, Series I and
Series II, features a single one-piece
molded dielectric retention system
that locks the contacts in place. The
contacts are crimp type, either power
or shielded, and available in sizes 12,
16, 20 and 23-28 or 23-22 with wire
size accommodations from 12
through 32 AWG.
The Amphenol
®
348 Series is a light-
weight, compact connector offered in
4 shell styles: straight plug, square
flange receptacle, single hole mount-
ing receptacle and cable receptacle. It
is environmentally resistant and will
operate at sea level to a voltage of
600 VAC (RMS). It will perform under
high temperature vibration, testing
through 150°C (see specifications on
page 2).

* Tested in accordance with method 1003, of MIL-STD-1344 per test conditions
listed.
* Applies to both 23-28 and 23-22 contact sizes.
Durability -
After 500 mating-unmating cycles at a maximum rate
of 300 cycles per hour, connectors shall not show any damage det-
rimental to the operation of the connector.
Corrosion -
After salt spray testing per method 1001, condition B,
MIL-STD-1344 connectors shall show no exposure of basis metal
which will affect performance.
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage -
Connectors shall show no evi-
dence of breakdown or flashover when subjected to the test volt-
ages and altitudes specified in table. Corona shall not be
considered as breakdown. (Sea level tests performed per method
3001 of MIL-STD-1344; Altitude tests per method 1005, condition
C, of MIL-STD-202).

Vibration -
Connectors shall undergo vibration testing per method
2005, test condition IV, MIL-STD-1344 in low and high temperature
extremes of preceding table with all contacts connected in series,
and a current flow of 100 milliamperes. There shall be no circuit
interruption longer than 1 micro-second.
Physical Shock -
The application of 1/2 sine-wave transient shock
impulses of 50 gravity units to 3 planes for 11 milli-seconds, with
test voltage applied to series connected contacts, shall result in no
discontinuity longer than 1 micro-second. Connectors shall not be
damaged, parts shall not become loose.
Temperature Life -
Mated connectors shall perform satisfactorily
after being subjected to ambient temperatures specified, per class
for 1000 hrs.
EMI Shielding Effectiveness -
As measured in a triaxial EMI leak-
age tester, connector shells with grounding springs shall exhibit a
radio frequency attenuation equal to or greater than the following:

Alternate Positions
To avoid cross-plugging problems in applications requiring the use of
more than one 348 Series connector of the same size and arrange-
ment, alternate positions are available as indicated in the charts below.
A plug with a given position number (1 through 6) will mate with a
receptacle with the same position number. The angular rotation A, B, C
or D is the same whether the connector has pin or socket inserts.
Inserts are not rotated in relation to the master key/keyway.
Shown below is a view from the front face of a receptacle. The view for
the front face of a plug is the same except the direction of rotation of
the angles is opposite of that shown for the receptacle.
