Additional MS/Standard Connectors
offered by Amphenol
MS/Standard MIL-DTL-5015* Connectors with Crimp Rear
Release Contacts
Amphenol broadens their MS/Standard family of connectors with the
addition of the Matrix^® MIL-DTL-5015 crimp rear release series. This
series bridges the gap between the old connector standard and the envi-
ronmental and high performance needs of current technologies.
Design characteristics of the Amphenol/Matrix 5015 series include:
• MS345( ) series intermateable with existing MIL-DTL-5015 solder
or crimp versions on existing equipment
• Captive coupling nut mechanism, utilizes retaining rings in combina-
tion with “L” washers to prevent inadvertent disassembly
• Multiple interlock systems ensure permanent insert retention
• Positive control of dielectric separation with guaranteed ease of
contact insertion
• Positive contact retention provided by a closely toleranced damage-
proof metal retention clip
• Completely sealed against environmental extremes with individual
contact seals, interfacial seals between contacts, peripheral gasket
shell-to-shell seals and rear wire seals

MIL-5015 Modifications
In order to supplement standard MS shell styles and provide a greater variety of styles for the electrical connector
user, there are several MS and MS Modified cylindrical connectors offered by Amphenol. These types include flange
mount plugs, thru bulkhead receptacles, jam nut receptacles, connectors for potting and connectors designed specif-
ically to terminate jacketed cable.

97 Series, MIL-5015 Type Connectors
The low cost, general duty connector used extensively in the machine
tool industry, welding industry and numerous other industrial applica-
tions, is the Amphenol^® 97 Series. Offered in non-environmental styles,
these connectors have hard dielectric inserts and threaded coupling.
They are Underwriters Laboratories Recognized and Canadian Stan-
dards Association Certified.

Pre-Earth FMLB Connectors
Designed for applications where a protective circuit from the ground con-
tact to the shell is a safety requirement, Pre-earth connectors use MIL-
5015 type shells, inserts and arrangements. They have first mate, last
break capability; when mated this feature protects operators and sensi-
tive circuits.
