Can you mate composite connectors with aluminum ones?

Answer:
Yes, all primary manufacturers have run extensive test to insure that composite and aluminum connectors will inter-mate. However, when matching composite and aluminum accessories (i.e. an aluminum backshell to a composite plug connector) it is best to seek out an experienced manufacturer to insure that thread types are compatible.
