The mil-spec in-line and panel-mount plugs and receptacles are made in the U.S., and are 50 percent smaller than standard MIL-DTL55116 parts to meet the size, weight, and performance requirements of today's soldier-worn, and ruggedized public safety communications applications.

Panel-mount plugs and receptacles, including those optimized for overmolding, are for military radios, tactical intercom networks, and communications networks.
