7.1  Sensor and control unit pin output

Models with a 26-pin bayonet plug have the pin assignments below. The RECORDER and HCU connectors on the breakout box are connected directly to the SENSOR connector, and behave identically.

This is a standard 26-pin military-specification plug, conforming to MIL‑DTL‑26482 (formerly MIL‑C‑26482). A typical part-number is 02E‑16‑26P although the initial “02E” varies with manufacturer.

Suitable mating connectors have part-numbers like ***‑16‑26S and are available from Amphenol, ITT Cannon and other manufacturers.

7.2  Sensor output (“D”-type connector option)

Some sensors were provided with a high-density “D”-connector in place of the standard bayonet connector.

These are standard DA26 sub‑miniature (D‑sub) plugs, conforming to DIN 41652 and MIL‑DTL‑24308. They are very widely available, as are suitable mating connectors.

7.3  Sensor output (waterproof connector option)

Waterproofed models have a custom 32-pin plug with pin spacing and layout conforming to MIL‑DTL‑26482 (formerly MIL‑C‑26482). The GSL part number is ELM-32P-18FX+MEC-GEN-1002-32W. These instruments are supplied with an adapter cable for connecting to a standard digitiser input.

7.4 Breakout box POWER connector

This is a standard 10-pin “mil-spec” plug, conforming to MIL‑DTL‑26482 (formerly MIL‑C‑26482). A typical part-number is 02E‑12‑10P although the initial “02E” varies with manufacturer.

Suitable mating connectors have part-numbers like ***‑12‑10S and are available from Amphenol, ITT Cannon and other manufacturers.
