本ARP旨在识别由AE-8C1委员会维护的电气连接器，提供其一般应用特性、相关配置选项，以及新设计（见6.1.1）、维修和改装目的的建议（见6.1）。众所周知，此处列出的连接器不会完全满足所有机动车辆和设备的要求，但优化这些部件的使用将有助于以最大限度地利用最少种类的连接器的形式实现标准化。本ARP仅适用于AS连接器标准。参见MIL-STD-1353，了解美国军用规格连接器信息。

The intent of this ARP is to identify electrical connectors maintained by the AE-8C1 Committee, to provide their general application characteristics, associated configuration options, and recommendations for new design (see 6.1.1), repair, and retrofit purposes (see 6.1). It is acknowledged the connectors listed herein will not completely satisfy all mobility vehicle and equipment requirements, but optimization of the use of these components will facilitate standardization in the form of maximum utilization of a minimum variety of connectors. This ARP only pertains to AS connector standards. See MIL-STD-1353 for U.S. military specification connector information.
