MIL-M-8555C
3.7 Parts.
3.7.1 Electron tubes and semiconductor devices. Electron tubes shall be
avoided whenever possible; however, when avoidance is not possible, the
electron tubes shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-454, Requirement 29 and
semiconductor devices shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-454, Requirement
30. Metallic oxide rectifiers shall not be used, except as applied to metal
oxide semiconductor field effect transistors and integrated circuits.
3.7.2 Connections. Printed wiring boards utilizing edge board contacts
may be used, provided they do not prevent meeting the equipment performance
requirements.
3.7.3 Threaded parts. Threaded parts for electronic equipment shall be
in accordance with MIL-E-8189. Threads shall conform to MIL-S-7742. Inserts
shall be provided for internal threads in soft metals and nonmetallic
materials subject to frequent disassembly or adjustment.
3.7.4 Electrical connectors. Electrical connectors shall be in
accordance with MIL-STD-454, Requirement 10. To minimize personnel hazard and
prevent shorting of live circuits, "live" or "hot" contacts, where practical,
shall be socket-type rather than pin type. Electrical connectors shall be
"scoop proof."
3.7.5 Seals and Connections. Seals and connections subject to
deterioration shall be minimized and readily replaceable.
3.8 Design and construction.
3.8.1 Loads. Deflections caused by free flight, captive flight, catapult
and arrested landing, handling and fatigue loads shall not degrade the
performance of the missile.
3.8.2 Interfaces. The missile shall be dimensionally, physically,
electrically, operationally and functionally compatible with the following
interfaces:
a.
Between missile subsystems (guidance, stabilization, armament,
power, propulsion and airframe).
Between missile and missile launch system.
b.
c.
Between missile and aircraft fire control system.
d.
Between missile and ground support equipment.
e.
Between missile and missile test equipment.
f.
Between contractor furnished missile components and Government
furnished missile components.
Physical and functional interfaces shall be specified under both static and
dynamic conditions.
3.8.2.1 Air launching. The missile design shall be coordinated with the
launching aircraft and the associated launching equipment. The missile design
shall be coordinated with the launching aircraft with respect to aerodynamic
and dynamic compatibility and critical dimensions and shall require a minimum
of modifications to the launching aircraft. The missile shall be capable of
rapid installation with respect to the launching aircraft. Launching
positions shall be selected to provide minimum problems with respect to the
