PAM connector — bayonet locking, stainless steel, VG 95351 & VG96394 compatible
• BAYONET LOCKING • VG 95351 & VG96394 COMPATIBLE • EMI/RFI 360° SHIELDING
The PAM is a stainless steel bayonet connector designed for military aeronautics applications. Compatible with MIL-C-38999, IP68 sealed, and rated from -55°C to +85°C, it provides reliable electrical connections for cockpit systems, pilot headsets, and airborne equipment where secure locking, signal integrity, and corrosion resistance are essential.
VG95351 & VG96934 compatible connector for land defense
The PAM’s bayonet locking mechanism provides a fast, secure connection that resists vibration-induced loosening — a key requirement in land defense environments. Available in three contact configurations, it covers a range of signal and power requirements for cockpit interfaces, onboard electronics, and ground support equipment. Its stainless steel shell and 360° EMI/RFI shielding ensure signal integrity in the electromagnetically demanding aircraft environment.
