A good source is the web site and/or catalog of the specific connector manufacturers, typically the 'Engineering' section. Another source is the DoD website to get a copy of the particular MIL standards. A third source is the manufacturers of test equipment for the connectors, such as Agilent who offer application notes on how to design and test connector types.

Does anyone out there offer training, or are there any good books or other resources? We're dealing mostly with MIL stuff here, like 38999, 83723, and 55302.
