Features
- Ceramic insulation element for MP48-A base
- For use with military radio equipment
- Original WWII specification
- Provides electrical insulation between antenna and chassis
- Suitable for external antenna wire routing
★ Essential component for correct operation and safe installation of the MP48-A antenna mast base on military vehicles.
Application
The MP48-A antenna mast base was used on various WWII and post-war military vehicles equipped with radio apparatus. The insulator forms part of the complete MP48-A base and provides the necessary electrical separation between the antenna cable and the vehicle chassis.
Installation notes
The insulator is fitted as part of the complete MP48-A base. For external antenna wire routing, the side mounting insulators (IN-118-A) are secured with #6-32 UNC screws. Ensure correct positioning for optimum insulation.
Compatibility
Specific for MP48-A antenna mast base. The MP48-A differs from the earlier MP48 in that the MP48-A has a tapped opening for a cable lug at the top and cable W-128 exiting from the bottom, whilst the MP48 has a large Amphenol connector. Not interchangeable with other antenna base types without modification.
Historical context
The MP48-A antenna mast base was developed during WWII as an improved version of the earlier MP48, with simplified cable connection. Ceramic insulators were extensively used in military radio equipment for reliable electrical insulation under harsh conditions.
