Amphenol broadens their MS/Standard family of connec-
tors with the MIL-C-5015 Crimp Rear Release Series.
This series provides an alternative to the older MIL-C-5015
solder type. It bridges the gap between an old connector stan-
dard and the environmental and high performance needs of
current technologies.
DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS
• Medium to heavy weight cylindrical
• MS345( ) series intermateable with existing MIL-C-5015
solder or crimp versions on existing equipment
• Captive coupling nut mechanism, utilizes retaining rings in
combination with “L” washers to prevent inadvertent disas-
sembly
• Multiple interlock systems ensure permanent insert reten-
tion
• Positive control of dielectric separation with guaranteed
ease of contact insertion
• Positive contact retention provided by a closely toleranced
damage-proof metal retention clip
• Completely sealed against environmental extremes with -
• individual contact seals (conical risers on pin interface)
• interfacial seals between contacts
• peripheral gasket shell-to-shell seals
• redundant rear wire seals and insert-to-shell seals
CUSTOMER OPTIONS
• Seven mounting styles, in shell sizes 8 to 48*
• Threaded coupling or self-locking plug (MS3459) with an
internal racheting mechanism to prevent unmating due to
vibration and shock, eliminating the need for safety wiring
• Proprietary quick disconnect plug, with or without lanyard
available
• Classes include aluminum or stainless steel shells, or
firewall capability
• MS and Proprietary versions available
• Some styles are supplied to McDonnell Douglas Specifica-
tion BAN 7025, DC60 Series
• Accommodation of contact sizes 0 to 16
• Over 100 insert arrangement patterns available, accommo-
dating from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 85 circuits
• Alternate positioning available
• Thermocouple pin and socket contacts are available**
* Consult Amphenol, Sidney, NY for availability of shell sizes 44 and 48.
** Consult Amphenol, Sidney, NY for information on thermocouple contacts.

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
SHOCK
Wired, mated connectors are subjected to one shock in each of three mutu-
ally perpendicular axes with pulse of an approximate half sine wave of 50g
magnitude for a duration of 11 milliseconds. All contacts wired in series cir-
cuit with 100 ±10 milliamperes of current flow.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE
Classes L, LS and KS have temperature range of
–55°C (–75°F) to 200°C (392°F)
Classes W and KT have temperature range of
–55°C (–75°F) to 175°C (347°F)
ENVIRONMENTAL SEAL
Wired, mated connectors with the specified accessory attached will meet
the altitude immersion test specified in MIL-C-5015.
DURABILITY
Minimum of 100 mating cycles.

To avoid cross-plugging problems in applications requiring
the use of more than one connector of the same size and
arrangement, alternate rotations are available as indicated
in the accompanying charts.
As shown in the diagram below, the front face of the pin
insert is rotated within the shell in a clockwise direction from
the normal shell key. The socket insert would be rotated
counter-clockwise the same number of degrees in respect to
the normal shell key.
The charts give the W, X, Y, Z positions for the alternate
rotations available for the insert arrangements of the rear
release MIL-C-5015 series of connectors. If an insert
arrangement number is not given, then there is no available
alternate rotation for that pattern.

MS/Standard 3100 Series, MIL-C-5015 Type Connectors
MS/Standard MIL-C-5015 Type Connectors
Amphenol has long been the accepted leader in providing MS/Standard
MIL-C-5015 type connectors. These connectors represent well-proven
electrical capability at an economical cost for most equipment where
durability is important.
The MS/Standard family of connectors (3100 Series) is a very broad
range of product with the following features:
• medium to heavy weight cylindrical with resilient inserts
• environmental resistant
• threaded couplings, single key/keyway shell polarization
• operating voltage to 3000 VAC (RMS) at sea level
• 5 shell styles, 19 shell sizes, 280 contact arrangements
• solder or crimp contacts (non-rear-release type),
sizes 16–0 accepting 22–0 AWG
• coaxial or thermocouple contact options
• alternate insert positioning
• hermetic configurations available
• zinc alloy plating (cadmium-free) available
Within the 3100 Series there are five classes of connectors to meet different requirements.
Class designations and brief descriptions are listed below.
A – Solid Shell – for general, non-environmental applications.
C – Pressurized – for use on pressurized bulkheads or pressure barriers; limits air leakage regardless of type
and class of plug mated with them.
E/F – Environmental Resisting with Strain Relief – designed for applications where the connector will be exposed
to moisture, vibration, and rapid changes in pressure and temperature.
R – Lightweight Environmental Resisting – shorter in length, lighter in weight than the E & F classes, the MS-R
offers a high degree of reliability under adverse conditions: recommended for new design applications.
Ask for Amphenol catalog 12-020 which gives detailed information on this family of connectors.
MIL-C-5015 Modifications
In order to supplement standard MS shell styles and provide a greater variety of styles for the electrical connec-
tor user, there are several MS and MS Modified cylindrical connectors offered by Amphenol.
These types include flange mount plugs, thru bulkhead receptacles, jam
nut receptacles, connectors for potting and connectors designed specifi-
cally to terminate jacketed cable.
Ask for Amphenol catalog 12-021 for detailed information.
97 Series, MIL-C-5015 Type Connectors
The low cost, general duty connector used extensively in the machine tool
industry, welding industry and numerous other industrial applications, is
the Amphenol® 97 Series. Offered in non-environmental styles, these con-
nectors have hard dielectric inserts and threaded coupling. They are
Underwriters Laboratories Recognized and Canadian Standards Associa-
tion Certified.
Recent addition to this family is the 97E environmental styles, still an eco-
nomical choice. The 97E can be used in a variety of industrial applications
where environmental sealing is required, such as automotive and robotics.
Ask for Amphenol catalog 12-022 for detailed information.
