Aerospace Standard XXXX M29504/05 Socket Terminus Alignment Sleeve Retention establishes the method to properly retain the alignment sleeve onto the M29504/05 socket terminus.
This document defines an approved method to properly secure the alignment sleeve onto the M29504/05 socket terminus using a torque tool and an adapter designed specifically to accomplish this procedure.
Rationale: To prevent intermittent optical disconnect issues, the alignment sleeve assembly for the M29504/05 socket terminus must be torqued onto the terminus to prevent the alignment sleeve from backing off during insertion into the D38999 connector and while experiencing vibrations during flight.
