A group cancellation notice has been issued for MIL-DTL-22520 and four of it’s slash sheets. The documents are all for wire termination crimping tools and all have been replaced by the AS 22520 editions of the same specifications. Both the obsolete Mil specs and the replacement AS documents can be purchased from Document Center Inc. in both paper and pdf format.
Here’s the details:
- MIL-DTL-22520, Revision G, “Crimping Tools, Wire Termination, General Specification for,” has been withdrawn in favor of AS 22520, same title, issued by SAE in 2011
- MIL-C-22520/17 Revision B, “Crimping Tools, Terminal, Hand, Wire Termination for Crimp Type Removable Contacts, Electric Connectors,” has been withdrawn in favor of AS 22520/17, again same title and again issued in 2011
- MIL-DTL-22720/38, “Crimping Tool, Terminal, Hand Actuated, Wire Termination, Type II, for External Power Plug Socket Contacts and Lug Terminal Sizes 22-10,” has been withdrawn and replaced by AS 22520/38, same title, same year.
- MIL-DTL-22720/40, “Crimping Tools, Terminal, Hand, Wire Termination; Type II T-Head for Terminal Lugs and Splices Size 22-14,” has been withdrawn in favor of AS 22520/40, same title, issued in 2012.
- MIL-DTL-22720/41, “Crimping Tools, Terminal, Hand, Wire Termination; Type II for Terminals and Splices Size 10-14,” replaced by AS 22520/41, with the same title and issued in 2012 as well.
FYI: The DoD has issued a notice of adoption for each of the AS replacement documents. This adoption notice states that the industry standard has been reviewed and is authorized for use in military contracts.
It is typical in these cases for the latest edition of the military document to be reprinted as is, with modifications made to meet the differing SAE format requirements. Over time, the AS reprints may be revised and that signals the participation of the DoD in the committee process itself.
