Amphenol /Matrix MS/Standard Cylindrical
MIL-DTL-5015 Connectors with
crimp rear release contacts
Amphenol broadens their MS/Standard family of connec-
tors with the MIL-DTL-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.
