Understanding Military Spec

CA/MS–E/F/R

Standard MS Circular
Connector to MIL-C-5015

ITT Cannon Threaded connectors are designed and manufactured to MIL-C-5015 to operate in extreme environmental conditions. They were originally designed for aircraft, but have since found their way into a wide variety of commercial and military applications. These popular connector styles are particularly well suited to commercial applications where a low cost, yet extremely rugged connector is required. Over 180 contact layouts are available from 1 to 65 positions and up to 150 Amps per contact. The standard MIL-C-5015 layouts allow the mixing of power and signal contacts, power only, or signal only. Contacts are available in solder, crimp, or PC termination covering wire gauges from size 20 to size 0 AWG. Thermocouple contacts (J, Y, K, T) are also available. These connectors are completely sealed to withstand moisture, condensation, vibration, and flash-over. When the two connector halves are mated, the rear sealing grommet plus the interfacial seal at the front create a completely sealed assembly.

Applications

Military and Industrial environments requiring extreme reliability, high power handling, and low cost in a standard connector.

Power Generators
Engines
Sensors
Motion Control
Off-road Vehicles

Earth Moving Equipment
Ships
Mobile Equipment
Industrial Machinery
Telecommunications

Features

Rugged Shell

Aluminum alloy shell and hardware create a rugged connector with minimal weight. These connectors have been used extensively in the military over the past 40 years and have proven their reliability in a wide range of combat and industrial applications. The primary applications are now in industry where these connectors have found broad application when reliability coupled with low cost is critical.

Environmental

Vibration proof and water proof. Will perform in the full range of MIL-C-5015 environments. Coupling nuts will accommodate lock wires if required.

Full Military Temperature Range

MS connectors will operate in temperatures from -55° to +125°C (-67° to +257°F) under the harshest possible conditions.

Wide Range of Wire Gauges and Current Carrying Capability

Up to 150 amps with wire gauges from size 20 up to size 0 AWG wire.

Resilient Insulator & Grommet

A resilient polychloroprene insulator and rear sealing grommet guarantees a liquid tight assembly. Crimp contacts can be inserted and removed a minimum of five cycles for field service. Solder contacts are permanently bonded into the insulator. Panel mounted parts with solder contacts are sealed and will not leak air through the connector (see MIL-C-5015).

Wide Variety of Contacts

High reliability screw machine contacts with silver or gold plating are available in sizes from 20 through 0 to accommodate wire gauges from 20 to 0 AWG. Solder, crimp, PC, and Thermocouple contacts are available.
