M24308/23-2F is a military-specification (“MIL-D”) D-subminiature connector. Specifically:
-
Connector Series / Standard: MIL-DTL-24308 (formerly MIL-C-24308)
-
Type: Receiver / Receptacle (i.e., female) connector.
-
Number of Positions: 15 contacts.
-
Mounting Style: Panel-mount, through-hole.
-
Termination: Solder (i.e., solder-cup or solder-type termination).
-
Shell Size / Layout: Shell size 2
Electrical / Environmental Specs
-
Operating Temperature: –55 °C to +125 °C (some sources say up to +150 °C depending on the exact version)
-
Current Rating: ~ 7.5 A (some retailer spec)
-
Withstanding Voltage: In MIL-DTL-24308 series, spec sheet shows at least 1000 V RMS at sea level for many – check exact datasheet for your class.
-
Contact Resistance: Very low (for MIL version). For example, in the spec sheet: 2.7 milliohms max.
-
Insulation Resistance: Very high — in spec: 5,000 MΩ initial, 1,000 MΩ minimum after environmental testing.
-
Shock / Vibration: Designed for rugged environments: shock up to 50G, vibration per MIL-STD-202, etc.
-
Humidity: Meets MIL spec for moisture resistance (e.g., relative humidity 90–95%, etc.)
Applications / Use Cases
-
Military / Aerospace: Because it’s MIL-DTL-24308, it’s commonly used in high-reliability, high-vibration, rugged environments (military, avionics, aerospace systems).
-
Industrial Equipment: Could be used in industrial control panels, test equipment, or any system where a robust, solder-cup, panel-mount D-sub is needed.
-
Legacy Systems: Good for maintaining or repairing legacy systems that use MIL spec D-sub connectors.
-
Harsh Environments: The cadmium finish, rugged housing, high temp tolerance make it suitable where conditions are demanding.
