MIL-DTL-5015, MIL-DTL-22992 Circular
Connector Overview
Amphenol
Aerospace
Amphenol’s medium to heavy weight circular include the MS/Standard
MIL-DTL-5015 series and the heaviest weight, largest size circular is the Heavy
Duty MIL-DTL-22992 series. These time-tested circulars have been used for
several years. They are dependable general duty and environmen­tally resistant
connectors for military and industrial applications.
Shielded coax contacts, although more popularly used in 38999 types and 26482
types, can be incorporated into some arrangements of the 5015 and 22992 type
circulars. Shielded coaxial contacts within these series are considered MS
modifications to the MIL-spec connector and the coax contacts are pre-installed
in the connector. Normal operating voltage with power contacts only is up to 3000
VAC (RMS) at sea level for MIL-DTL-5015 circulars. The Heavy Duty types are
designed for high current capacity and have current ratings (with power contacts
only) of up to 200 amps.
Standard and Heavy Duty Circular offer these features for contact
termination flexibility:
• Insert arrangements that can incorporate:
• Size 4, 8 & 12 Crimp Coax contacts, pre-installed in the connector
• Wide selection of connector shell styles and sizes
• Standard power contact options within the various connector styles include: solder type,
crimp front release, crimp rear release
• Coax contacts are designed to the same high performance standards as power contacts.
Coax and power contacts may be intermixed with no degrada­tion of connector reliability.

GENERAL ORDERING INFORMATION
Amphenol MS/Standard MIL-DTL-5015 type and Heavy Duty MIL-DTL-22992 type circulars are normally supplied with a full complement
of power contacts, separately packaged. Coax contacts are ordered by part number as referenced in the part number charts on the
following pages of this catalog, and are substituted for the power contacts at the time of the cable or equipment assembly. Coax contacts
are pre-installed in these series. Installation instructions for the coax contacts for these series are provided in Amphenol document L-650.
HOW TO ORDER:
1. Select the coax contacts designed for the cable being used from the chart on page 409 of this catalog.
Select a connector insert from those shown on page 44 which will accommodate the quantity and size of coaxial contacts needed plus
any power contacts required.
2. Determine the MS/Standard or Heavy Duty Series style desired. (See features of each series referenced above). The catalog referenced
for each series will guide you in determining shell style, finish, service class and insert rotation required for your application.
