(30) MRE Series plugs and receptacles are the accepted standard for rectangular-shaped, miniature, internal-type connectors. They embody all of the features expected of true miniaturization : maximum utility of space, extremely lightweight and unusually high working voltage and current ratings. Their long life and trouble-free service continue to make them highly popular for use in aircraft, instrumentation and portable equipment. The MRE and MRA series share the same hoods, hardware and accessories.
(14) Polarized jackscrews give the ease and assurance of threaded positive coupling. The actuating side consists of two turnable screws, one male and one female, each with knurled and slotted knobs. On the mating half are the two fixed screws required to complete the locking action. When mated, the jackscrews may be locked with a safety wire through the hole in the self-locking pin (in the jackscrew shaft).
(48) All jackscrews and sockets are stainless steel, passivated, except for J & JTD which are nickel-plated brass. All knobs are aluminum, anodized except JTW and JTCW which are stainless steel, passivated.
(2) Vibration locks offer simplicity of design and positive locking in excess of 50G shock impact and 10G vibration acceleration. Mating halves automatically lock when engaged. To unlock, depress the levers. Drilled holes in the levers are provided for safety wiring. Vibration locks are available separately for assembly on connectors now in service. Each code number indicates two units: two levers with two pivots, and two lock tabs. US Patent Number 2760174

The vibration lock offers simplicity and complete locking effectiveness. The unit locks automatically when the mating plug and receptacle are engaged. Unlocking and disengaging can be done with one hand.
(13) Each form matches the back opening contour of its appropriate shell, and stays easily in place during the potting operation. Of negligible weight, it need not be removed from the connector after potting. Because of floating contacts, connector halves should always be engaged during the potting operation to preserve contact alignment.
