MS connectors meet the latest performance require-
ments of MIL-DTL-5015. These connectors represent
well-proven electrical capability at an acceptable cost for
most equipment where durability is important.
MIL-DTL-5015 features threaded couplings and single
key/keyway polarization, representing maximum simplic-
ity in design. Applications include military ground support
equipment, ordnance and shipboard installations.
MS-E/F
Amphenol Industrial Operations manufactures five
classes of connectors to meet different requirements.
Class designations and brief descriptions are listed
below.
A – Solid Shell – for general, non-environmental appli-
cations.
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.
MS-R
R – Lightweight Environmental Resisting – shorter in
length and lighter in weight than the E and F
classes, the MS-R offers a high degree of reliability
under adverse conditions: recommended for new
design applications.
