The C17-435 Protective Cap is designed to shield the mating face of MIL-DTL-26482 Series I and II plug connectors when they are unplugged or stored. Part of EMCA’s C1 plug-cap range, this protective cap ensures that contact interfaces, insulators, and coupling elements remain free from dust, moisture, impact damage, and other contaminants that could compromise connector performance.
Engineered for accurate, reliable fitment across standard 26482 plug geometries, the C17-435 maintains secure retention without interfering with the connector’s coupling mechanism. This makes it suitable for protecting cable assemblies during equipment downtime, transport, environmental exposure, or field deployment.
Manufactured using durable materials with a range of optional plating finishes, the C17-435 is built to perform in harsh aerospace, defence, industrial, and transportation environments. When specified, an integrated lanyard attachment point enables tethering, preventing accidental loss and ensuring the cap remains available whenever the connector is unmated.
