M39029/56-348 Electrical Contact, MIL-DTL-39029 Series
The M39029/56-348 is an electrical contact (removable crimp
contact) designed for use in standard circular connectors. It
conforms to MIL-DTL-39029 series requirements. Note: MIL-DTL-39029
contacts are used as internal contact elements within connectors
conforming to standards such as MIL-DTL-38999 / GJB599,
MIL-DTL-26482, MIL-DTL-27484, MIL-DTL-27497, and MIL-DTL-27508. The
contact itself is not a standalone connector and is not directly
form-fit-function interchangeable with complete connectors from any
standard. Confirm exact contact size, wire gauge range, and
compatible connector insert arrangements with supplier.
This contact features MIL-DTL-39029 specification, slash number /56
(contact type/design variant — confirm exact pin or socket type
with supplier), and part number 348 (confirm exact contact size and
wire gauge range with supplier). The design supports crimp
termination for reliable wire-to-contact interconnection.
