This question may fall a little outside this groups scope but it's the
only group I monitor and of course it's the best!

This falls under the ol' "We've always done it this way" heading.

We have a mil spec cable assemble that has a circular, MIL-C-26482,
connector on one end. We have always put an empty pin in any unused
holes with a plug. We have a new supplier that is not doing this. We
rejected the cables and they asked where the criterion was for the plug.

We cannot find a directive which mandates that unused pin locations be
plugged. We did find a reference in MIL-HDBK-454 which states, "Sealing
plugs should be inserted in the grommet holes of unused contacts in
environmentally sealed connectors." It's the good old "should" statement
and not a "Shall".

Any of you mil guys out there know where this requirement lives?

Thanks a bunch,

KennyB
