What does it mean when I see an aerospace wire and cable product labeled with both MIL-spec numbers and either SAE or NEMA specifications?
While MIL-specs are still viable standards in the industry, select military specifications are being released to non-governmental standards. Organizations like SAE and NEMA are then translating the Mil-Specs into their own standards. Because it is still popular to refer to wire and cable products by their Mil-Spec numbers, the new NEMA or SAE specification sometimes appears alongside its Mil-Spec counterpart. Be sure to double check all standards to make sure they fit your specific project needs.
