MIL-DTL-83513 Qualified Micro-D Connector
Unlike Glenair commercial MWDM part numbers, the M83513/01-DN uses a military specification part-number format. Glenair identifies its M83513 connector line as DLA-qualified for military and aerospace programs requiring current QPL status.
This makes the connector suitable for controlled programs where the purchasing specification requires:
MIL-DTL-83513 compliance
A recognized military part number
QPL manufacturer status
Standardized mechanical and electrical performance
Documented material and inspection requirements
Procurement teams should still verify that Glenair remains listed for the exact applicable configuration at the time of purchase.
Mating Connector Selection
The M83513/01-DN is a 25-position plug with male contacts. Its standard opposite-gender configuration is the M83513/02-DN, a 25-position receptacle with female socket contacts.
