The interface specifications for the C and many other connectors are referenced in MIL-STD-348. The connector uses two-stud <a href="/facts/Bayonet_mount/0QBlN455">bayonet-type</a> locks. The C connector was invented by <a href="/facts/Amphenol/Eggx638J">Amphenol</a> engineer <a href="/facts/Carl_Concelman/c7HT5RKp">Carl Concelman</a>. It is weatherproof without being overly bulky.
