M70 Series Cable Assembly
M70 Series Cable Assembly Series (M72, M73 & M74)
Please visit the Island Ordnance Systems (IOS) Website for more information about aerial bomb components, including the M70 Series Cable Assembly Series .
The M70 Series Cable Assemblies are the method used to transfer fuze power from the aircraft to electronic bomb fuzes and target detecting devices to initiate the energetic explosive. Utilizing the MK122 safety switch, the Cable Assembly transmits DC/RF voltages from the charging receptacle to the fuzes in the nose and tail of the bomb.
The M70 Series includes the M72, M73, and M74 Cable Assemblies. Each assembly is identical except in length. The total length of the cordage and fuze plugs is approximately 31 inches for the M72 and slightly longer for the M73 and M74.
