MIL-PRF-39012 Categories and Cable Groups

M39012 QPL cable connectors are divided into categories which define their cable attachment methods:
Category A (flexible and semi-rigid cables): Field replaceable, no special tools required for assembly. Many of our Category A QPL connectors in BNC, N, and TNC series are available with your choice of Improved Wedge-Lock or V-Groove cable attachment. Category A connectors for flexible cable in SMA series are available with your choice of solder or Wedge-Lock cable attachment.
Category B (flexible and semi-rigid cables): Special tools may be required for assembly. (Most category B connectors use readily-available commercial tooling.)
Category C (flexible cables): Crimp connectors which can be assembled with specified tooling and die sizes.
Category D (flexible cables): Crimp connectors which can be assembled with specified tooling and die sizes, and also have defined sizes for crimp sleeves, contacts, and other parts. Contacts are crimpable.
Category E (semi-rigid cables): Connectors with solder attachment, using specified cable stripping dimensions and standard tool kit.
Refer to the tables below to find cable groups for MIL-C-17 cables.
