Mil-Spec Tools and Components
United States Military Standard
A United States Defense Standard, often called a Military Standard, “MIL-STD”, “MIL-SPEC”, or (informally) “MilSpecs”.
"MilSpecs" are used to help achieve standardization objectives by the U.S. Department of Defense. Standardization is
beneficial in achieving interoperability, ensuring products me et certain req uirements, commonality, reliability, total cost of
ownership, compatibility with logistics systems, and similar defense-related objectives. Defense Standards are also used
by other non-Defense government org anizations, technical organizations, and industry. This PMail discusses
definitions, history, usage of Defense Standards, as well as Panduit Tools and Products.
The Military doesn’t actually use Mil-Spec as a standard any longer (see a discussion of this in
the Origins section below and on page 13 of this lesson). Mil-Spec still exists as a tight
tolerance reference used by many builders. Although the official definition is different between
types of documents, all the documents referred to in this PMail go by the genera l title of
"military standard", including defense specifications, handbooks, and standards. The
Government Accountability Office (GAO), says that military specifications "describe the
physical and/or operational characteristics of a product", while military standards "detail the
processes and materials th at are used to make the product." Military handbooks, on the other
hand, are primarily sources of com piled information and/or guidance. However, the GAO
acknowledges that the terms are often used interchangeably.
Official definitions are provided by DO D 4120.24-M Defense Standardization Program (DSP) Policies and Procedure s,
March 2000, OUSD (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics):
Defense Handbook - A guidance document containing standard procedural, technical, engineering, or design
information about the materiel, proces ses, practices, and methods covered by the DSP.
Defense Specification - A document that describes the essential technical requireme nts for purchased materiel that is
military unique or substantially modified commercial items.
Defense Standard - A document that establishes uniform engineering and technical requirements for military-unique or
substantially modified commercial processes, procedures, practices, and methods. There are five types of defense
standards: interface standards, design criteria standards, manufacturing process standard s, standard practices, and test
method standards.
Standard - A document that establishes uniform en gineering or technical criteria, methods, processes and practices.
Specification - A document prepared to support acquisition that describes the essential technical requirement for
purchased materiel and the criteria for determining whether those requirements are met.
Defense standards evolved from the ne ed to ensure proper performance and maintainability of military equipment. For
example, due to differences in dimensional tolerances, in World War II American screws and bolts did not fit British
equipment properly and were not fully interchangeab le. Defense standards provided many benefits, such as minimizing
the number of types of ammunition, ensuring compatibility of tools, and ensuring quality during production of military
equipment.
The proliferation of standards had drawbacks. It was a rgued that the large number of standards, nearly 30,000 by 1990,

imposed unnecessary restrictions, increased cost to contractors, and hence the DOD, and impeded the incorporatio n of
the latest technology. Responding to increasi ng criticism, Secretary of Defense William Perry issued a memorandum
in 1994 that prohibited the use of most defense standards without a waiver. This has become known as the "Perry
memo". Many defense standards were canceled. In their place, the DOD encou raged the use of industry standards,
such as ISO 9000 series for quality assurance. The word “COTS” was coined to refer to the Military’s use of
“Commercial-off-the-Shelf Components. Weapon systems were required to use "performance specifications" that
described the desired features of the we apon, as opposed to requiring a large number of defense standards. In 2005
DOD issued a new memorandum which eliminated the requirement to obtain a waiver in order to use defense standards.
The 2005 memo did not reinstate any canceled defense standard s.
Mil-Spec Tools and Components
Let’s take a typical application such as Aircraft Electrical Wiring using
Aircraft Rated Terminals v s. Commercial Rated Terminals.
Stronger: Aircraft quality solderless terminals conform to MS25036 and MIL-T-
7928 aircraft specifications, whereas oth er sol derless terminals meet UL 486A.
One difference is in the force required to break or separate the terminal from the
conductor. Notice that the aircraft terminal has more metal at the crimp. For
example, a 18 gauge (red) terminal manufactured to MIL-T-7928 Class 2 has a
minimum tensile strength of 38 lbs. whereas UL are only required to meet 20lbs.
Vibration Resistant: Aircraft vibrate so it’s
important to support the wire close to but sepa rate
from the wire crimp. The PANDUIT Vinyl Terminal
shown to the left (top) provides an “insulation grip ” but is not sufficient for Mil-Spec. The
combined 2-piece metal sle eve on the Nylon Terminal left (bottom) provides a crimp on the
conductor as well as a “insulation crimp” on the conductor insulation. This type of
connector prevents vibratio n of the wires where they leave the crimp. This type of two
crimp terminal is requi red for high vibration applications where rep eated flexing of the
copper wires hardens the wires and results in breaka ge and a failed connections.
Two crimps; one to hold the aircraft wire and one to hold the insulation. Shown below is
the right crimping tool, CT-400, (Military Specification - MIL-DTL-22 520) for aircraft crimps.
The biggest difference betwee n this tool and our other controlled cycle hand too ls is that
the crimp is made using an equal pre ss (In-line ) motion vs. the scissor like motion of the
others. Each crimp is formed to its own size and shape. Notice the insulation crimp (shown
to the right of the tool) is formed around the insulation so it supports and grabs the
insulation without
crushing it.
Better Electrical Contact: MIL wire connectors
also have multiple 'V' grooves inside the barrel to
help grip the aircraft wire. These grooves help to
break-up the tin plating upon crim ping. This
exposes clean copper to the wires and assures a
low resistan ce connection.
Fewer crimp errors: Crimp connector tools form both crimps at the same time. The ratchet handle will not open and
release the terminal until it is fully squeezed. This prevents under crimps. MIL-DTL-22520 tools come with a calibrating
GO-NO-GO tool that verifies the proper crimp diameter. No operator guessing as how much to crimp the terminal.
Quote from AC43.13-1B Chg. 1 11-69, "The crimp on terminal lugs and splices must be installed using a high quality
ratchet-type crimping tool" . These tools are qu alified to MIL-DTL-2 2520 are to be used for crimping terminal lugs. All
MIL-DTL-22520 hand crim ping tools have a self-locking ratchet, which prevents the tool from opening until the crimp is
complete. MIL-DTL-22520 establishe s a single specification which sets forth performance requirements for all crimp
tools to be used on military standard connectors.

STRENGTH: PANDUIT ® PAN-STEEL® Stainless Steel Ties and Straps are tested per the SAE
Standard AS23190 formerly U.S. Military Specification MIL-S-23190, minimum loop tensile test.
This test consists of applying a tie to a split mandrel and then measuring the force requi red to
separate the (two) halves until the tie fails. The se mi nimum loop tensile strengths are given for the
various products on pages B3.5 through B3.25.
TEMPERATURE EXTREMES: PANDUIT ® PAN-STEEL® Stainless Steel Ties and Straps are
100% stainless steel in the alloy provided (locking head, locking ball, and body all provided from
the same grade of material ordered ). Variou s tempera t ure tests have been successfully completed.
One such test is the U.S. Military Temperature Cycling Test per T hermal Shock Method 107, Test
Condition B of MIL-STD-202. This test exposes the parts from low temperature 85°F (-65°C) to
high temperature 275°F (135°C) to low temperature -85°F (-65°C). After exposure, the parts must
be free of cracks, distortions, breaks, release of locking device; and meet the minimum loop tensile requirements.
SHOCK AND VIBRATION: PANDUIT ® PAN-STEEL® Standard and Heavy Cross Section ties have passed the U.S.
Military random vibration Test Method 214. Test Condition II, Letter J of MIL-STD-202. This test consists of applying
parts to a bundle and then vibrating them with rando m vibration for 8 hours in each of two mutually perpendicular
directions. The parts are th en subjected to further temperature testing and finally have to pass the minimum loop tensile
strength test. PANDUIT ® PAN-STEEL® Extra Heavy, Super Heavy, MSW50 Strapping and MSW63 Strapping have
passed the U.S. Military Shock and Vibration Testing per MIL -STD-167 an d MIL-S-901 D. The ties were subjected to
vibrations in all three planes from 4 – 50 Hz and Shock testing in all three planes utilizing a hammer shock machine.
SALT SPRAY: PANDUIT ® PAN-STEEL® Stainless Steel Ties and Straps have been subjected to salt spray tests
without signs of corrosion or reduction in performance.
OUTDOOR EXPOSURE: PANDUIT ® PAN-STEEL® Stainless Steel Ties and Straps have been expose d outdoors at
New Lenox, Illinois USA since 1985. At the printing of this catalog, there has been no sign of corrosion or loss of
performance.
FLUID IMMERSION: PANDUIT ® PAN-STEEL® Stainless Steel Ties were immersed in: 1-Hydraulic Fluid, 2-Turbine
Fuel, 3-Lubricating Oil, and 4-Isopropyl Alcohol for four hours at temperatures of 122°F (50°C). Per SAE Standard
AS23190, the parts were then subjected to and passed the minimum loop tensile test.
RADIATION: Installed cable ties of various materials have been exposed to different amounts of radiation to determin e
the maximum acceptable limit. These tests were conducted by PANDUIT to determine the acceptability for use in various
areas of nuclear power plants (accumulated over 40 year life). Ra diation resistance is 2x10 8 rads.

Topic:
Military Standards Conversion
Since the old Mil-Spec system is being phased out and newer SAE standards are being adopted, SAE has put together a
process that is used to convert from “MIL-” to “AS-” . The full process is described on the SAE International Website.
Below is a summary of how the conversion works.
http://www.sae.org/standardsdev/military/milproc.htm
Aerospace Council Procedures for Conversion of Military Standards
The SAE Aerospace Council has approved this process for the conversion of military standards into SAE standards. The
conversion project s stem from governme nt Preparing Activities (PA) that are releasing specifications and standards to
Non Government Standards Bodies (NGSB). These procedures establish continuity among the SAE committees, and
address two major concerns, technical equivalency and approval of the resultant SAE document.
Please note that DOD did not support changing the Preparing Activity or design authority to an NGSB. Their desi re i s to
have the standards converted to the NGSB format and issued as an NGS. Similarly, the SAE cover sheet adoption
process was unacceptabl e .
Supersession Information
Through the AIA Early Warning Project Group (E WPG), the aer ospace industry has taken a firm position that the DOD
cancellation notice should list a specific NGSB replacement document. This paper trail facilitates the procurement of
material or other products to the appropriate follow-on standard. The government PA accomplishes this a cti on, but may
need reinforcement from the committee . Procedures are in place to acquire the cancellation notices for DOD standards
converted into SAE documents.
Document Numbering
The primary purpose of controlling d ocument numbering for the conversions is to minimize its impact on part numbers.
Therefore, DOD standards converted to SAE standards will have an SAE number that consists of the appropriate SAE
prefix and the DOD document number. The pa rt numbering requirements within the document will not change.
Examples:
QQ-A-200 become s AMS QQ-A-200 (federal spec)
MIL-H-83797 becomes AS83797 (mil spec)
QPL Information
For legal reasons, SAE standards may not include or relate to the creation of a qualified products list. However, the
converted standard may include requirements and procedures, but actual imple mentation of the QPL can o nly be included
as a section or an attachment for histori c refe rence. Standards approved using the accelerated process carry an
introductory notice stating this information.
QPL information in the converted document will not be changed until a revision of the published SAE standard is made.
The suggested time frame for this action is within three years after publication.
