The Whirlwind W2 is a 61 contact, quick disconnect connector
system based on the proven MIL-26482 multipin standard. The pin
and socket modules are shell size 24 with a standard 61 contact
insert arrangement. The solder style contacts are permanently
mounted in resilient rubber insulators to provide years of trouble
free service.
Whirlwind manufactures a robust aluminum backshell to protect
the soldered connections and provides a waterproof mesh grip for
an absolutely reliable strain relief on the cable. The W2 system
utilizes a 61 pin male insert in a plug shell, with a quarter-turn
locking ring and a 61 socket female insert in a receptacle shell with
studs, that mates with the male plug shell.
Whirlwind provides the W2 in four standard configurations, male
and female inline and male and female chassis mount. The W2 can
be used to interconnect up to 20 balanced, shielded signal lines.

2. The standard Whirlwind layout begins at the stage box. Chassis mount Female connectors
with studs are the first choice for panel or box mounting. Inline Males with locking rings are the
first choice for cable connectors.
3. Systems using connectors of this series require only that a Male connector with ring plugs
into a Female connector with studs.
