Types of mil spec circular connectors
Some of the most common specifications and standards include:
Series I and Series IV
connectors have a fast disconnect system. They offer high resistance to vibration and are also ideal for environments that experience strong winds and high humidity.

connectors are have a low profile, so are used when weight or space is limited, or in low-vibration situations.
Series III
connectors can be used in high-temperature situations where good resistance to vibration is also required, as well as in environments with high winds and humidity.
