MIL-DTL-55181 solutions

Eaton offers a comprehensive range of MIL--DTL--55181 QPL

and specialized solutions. This extensive range of ﬁ eld-proven

products can be leveraged to quickly develop application

speciﬁ c solutions including custom cable assemblies.

Innovations include a stacking connector that enables power

splitting in the ﬁ eld without the use of Y cables. The stacking

connector incorporates plug contacts that are mated to the

battery pictured to the right. Internal contacts split power

between the attached cable and receptacle contacts that are

mated to the QPL connector stacked on top of it.

Heritage-proven designs

are rated for 500 mate

and demate cycles.

Voltage drops for mated four-contact

connectors less than 20mV at 35 amps;

9 and 18 contact models less than 25mV

at 7.5 amps.

QPL and RoHS compliant ﬁ nish options.

End-to-end solutions include

custom-cable assemblies.

Gold over nickel contact platings.

Heat treated, alloy-steel nosepiece.

Cable mounted stacking connectors provide plug contacts

and receptacle contacts. When the stacking connector’s front-

mounted plug contacts are mated to a power receptacle, an

additional plug/cable can be mated to the stacking connector’s

rear-mounted receptacle contacts to split power without

Y cables.

•As depicted below; when mated to a battery, power is

distributed to the cable attached to the stacking connector

and the “piggybacked” QPL plug/cable.

•The stacking connector will function in the same manner

as a QPL plug when a “piggybacked” plug/cable is not

connected.

•Stacking connectors can be ordered with factory-installed

cables or customers can connect cables using the same

processes to attach QPL plugs.
