The C17-434 Protective Cap is engineered to safeguard the mating surface of MIL-DTL-26482 Series I and Series II plug connectors when they are not in use. Designed without a specific key position, this cap provides flexible compatibility across a wide range of plug variants within the 26482 family.
Precision-machined for a secure fit, the C17-434 prevents dust, moisture, foreign object ingress, and mechanical damage from impacting the connector’s contacts and coupling interface. This makes it ideal for protecting harness assemblies during equipment downtime, transport, storage, or field operation.
Constructed from robust materials and available with optional plating finishes, the C17-434 offers long-term durability in harsh environments commonly found in aerospace, defence, transportation, and rugged industrial systems. Its integrated lanyard attachment point (when specified) allows the cap to be tethered, ensuring retention and preventing accidental loss.
