MS-A and MS-C
MS-A and MS-C class connectors perform many of the
vital functions in powering, testing and ground support
systems. Class A applications include communications
equipment, computers and shipboard installations where
mechanical forces and physical parameters are not sub-
ject to extreme or rapid environmental changes.
Class C connectors are most frequently used on pressur-
ized bulkheads or pressure barriers at elevated altitudes
or maritime applications. Air leakage is limited to one
cubic inch per hour at a pressure differential of 30 lbs. per
square inch.
Shells:
Shell components are fabricated from high grade alumi-
num alloy. Electrically conductive cadmium plate finish
with an olive drab chromate after-treat offers corrosion
resistance.
Contacts:
Contacts are available in both solder and crimp versions.
Pins and sockets are machined from copper alloy with a
silver plated finish. Size 16 and 12 socket contacts incor-
porate a closed entry design. Refer to pages 49, 67 and
68 for additional contact information.
Inserts:
Inserts are resilient neoprene, offering high dielectric
strength, high arc resistance and resistance to vibration.
Proprietary design permits pressurization of either pin or
socket insert.
