Product Overview
MIL-C-26482 Style Six-Socket Panelette for the NI SC-2345, Wired and Unused
Condition
Unused, new old stock, and the photographs are the record. An olive drab cadmium-finish circular receptacle sits square in a black textured panelette blank, held by four pan-head screws with star lock washers visible on the reverse. The insert face is clean and the position letters A through F read clearly around the six socket contacts, which are bright with no discoloration. Six color-coded solid-conductor leads (black, white, red, green, blue, orange) are soldered into the rear solder cups, and their free ends are stripped and pre-tinned. The shell flange carries an ink-stamped factory marking that is only partly legible in these photos, so we are not naming a manufacturer for it. No scuffing, corrosion, or mounting wear shows on the panel face.

Product Overview
MIL-C-26482 is the circular connector family defense, aerospace, and industrial builders reach for when a cable has to stay put through vibration, and this panelette brings that hardware to the front panel of a National Instruments SC-2345 signal conditioning carrier. The female receptacle carries six socket contacts in a Size 10 shell, with coupling pins standing proud on the shell exterior for the mating plug to lock against. The panelette blank drops into a front slot of the SC-2345 the same way any other panelette does, and the six soldered leads run back inside the carrier to whichever SCC module channels you assign them. It is a way to take a benchtop carrier out to a test cell or a truck without trusting the run to loose screw terminals.
Key Features
- Connector: female MIL-C-26482 style circular receptacle, six socket contacts
- Shell: Size 10, olive drab cadmium-type finish
- Contact marking: positions A through F molded into the insert face
- Coupling: coupling pins visible on the shell exterior for the mating plug
- Mounting: receptacle secured to the panelette by four pan-head screws with star lock washers
- Panel fit: panelette blank installs in a front slot of the NI SC-2345 carrier
- Leads: six color-coded solid-conductor wires soldered to the rear contacts, free ends stripped and tinned
- Quantity: one piece, the exact assembly photographed
Applications
- Test engineer moving an SC-2345 off the bench and onto a shaker table who needs a locking front-panel connector instead of exposed screw terminals
- Field crew running a portable data acquisition cart where sensor cables get pulled, coiled, and reconnected every day
- Maintenance technician rebuilding an existing SC-2345 station whose harness already terminates in a six-contact MIL circular plug
- Instrument builder who wants a MIL-pattern bulkhead pass-through in a custom enclosure and can reuse the receptacle off the panel blank
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly comes in the package?
The single assembly in the photos: the black panelette blank, the six-socket circular receptacle mounted to it with four screws, and the six soldered color-coded leads. No mating plug, no backshell, no SC-2345 carrier, and no documentation.
Which system is this panelette made for?
The National Instruments SC-2345 signal conditioning carrier. It installs in a front slot the same as the other panelettes in that system.
Are the contacts pins or sockets?
Sockets. The front face shows six female contacts with the positions lettered A through F around the insert, in a Size 10 shell.
Do you know which wire color goes to which contact?
Not confirmed. The leads were already soldered to the rear cups when this came to us and no wiring chart came with it, so buzz each color out to its letter with a meter before you land it on a module.
What am I taking on with a piece like this?
You are getting one unused new old stock assembly exactly as photographed, and nothing more. We have not put a meter on it, the wire-to-contact mapping is undocumented, and the shell markings are only partly legible in the images, so treat the photos as the spec and plan on a continuity check at your bench. Shipping is $8 flat rate and free once your order passes $28, and orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
An aerospace-pattern shell bolted to a lab panel blank is what a test engineer builds when the cable absolutely cannot back out halfway through a run. Sort the six colors to their letters and the SC-2345 stops being a benchtop-only instrument.
