ENVIRONMENTALLY SEALED FOR CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS

Amphenol AIT / MS connectors are cost-effective threaded circular SAE-AS50151 (MIL-DTL-5015) connectors for use in harsh environments. These Amphenol MS connectors are sealed to withstand moisture, condensation, vibration, and flash-over. Over 286 contact layouts are available, in variations that allow for just power, just signal, or a mix of both contact types. Amphenol AIT / MS connectors are available in five mounting styles, nineteen shell sizes, and solder or crimp termination.

Features

  • Agency Approvals
    SAE-AS50151 (MIL-DTL-5015) (Formerly MIL-C-5015)
  • Broad Temperature Range
    These connectors will operate in temperatures ranging from -67°F to +257°F (-55°C to +125°C).
  • Environmental
    These connectors will perform in the full range of operating conditions as defined in SAE-AS50151 (MIL-DTL-5015) and are recommended for conditions where vibration, moisture, pressure and/or temperature are extreme.
  • Resilient Insulator and Grommet
    A resilient neoprene insulator and rear-seal grommet provide a liquid-tight assembly.
  • Rugged Shell
    The rugged aluminum alloy shell and hardware are light in weight yet highly resistant to damage and corrosion. Shells are available in five different styles and in 19 sizes.
  • Wide Range of Wire Gauges and Current Carrying Capacity
    Up to 150 amps for standard military contacts and up to 245 amps using Radsok® contacts. Wire gauges from 26 to size 0 AWG.
  • Wide Variety of Contacts
    Machined contacts with silver or gold plating are available in sizes from 16 through 0. Solder, Crimp, PC, and thermocouple contacts are available.

Electrical Data

Operating Voltage/Test Voltage

* Each insulator has a specific service rating. These should be used by the designer only as a guide.

† Not corrected for change in density resulting from variations in temperature

MS connectors show no evidence of breakdown when the given test voltages are applied between the two closest contacts and between the shell and the contacts closest to the shell for a period of one minute, per MIL-STD-1344 Method 3001.

 

Current Rating & Contact Resistance

* Using non-military crimp Radsok contact

Maximum total current to be carried per connector in wire bundles as specified in MIL-W-5088. Contact resistance when tested to MIL-C-39029 will not exceed voltage drops listed in above table.

The connector is designed for individual wire sealing. Sealing of an outer cable jacket on multiconductor cables must be accomplished with an appropriate endbell. Sealing is only guaranteed if wires according to MIL-W-5086 or within the listed ranges are used.
