Hello David,
With respect to U.S. requirements; You may be hard put to find a suitable
MIL connector with a NRTL approval - which is generally required on
components connected to primary wiring. In my experience, the same can be
said for MIL wire. You can always submit the connectors or wire for
NRTL 'approval' but that is both time-consuming and expensive - with no
guarantee of a successful outcome.
Best regards, Art Michael, Webmaster of the Safety Link
