1-2379812-1

Overview

The 1-2379812-1 is a circular connector receptacle housing manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine. It features a Size 15 shell with four positions designed for fiber optic applications. The component utilizes a jam nut mounting style for secure panel installation. This housing serves as the structural interface for mating connectors in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for fiber optic interconnect applications
• Provides a robust panel mount solution via jam nut attachment
• Constructed with a metal shell for enhanced durability

Applications

• Fiber optic cable assemblies
• Panel-mounted communication systems
• Aerospace and defense electronic enclosures

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a receptacle housing rather than a plug or insert. Confirm the mating connector series compatibility to ensure proper alignment and sealing. Check for required accessories such as gaskets or inserts not included in the base housing part number. Ensure environmental ratings meet operational requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a Size 15 receptacle housing is required for fiber optic configurations. Consider the jam nut mounting method for vibration-resistant panel installations. Evaluate the need for additional shielding or sealing accessories based on the specific system environment and mating hardware constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MIL-DTL-38999 series of circular connectors, widely used in high-reliability sectors. The Size 15 designation indicates the shell size, while the four-position configuration supports specific fiber optic density needs within compact form factors typical of aerospace and marine electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering MIL-DTL-38999 Series III compatible housings. Verify dimensional interchangeability for Size 15 jam nut receptacles. Ensure equivalent material specifications for the metal shell and finish are maintained for environmental resistance.
