The XY3106A-14S-7S is a high-performance, rugged circular connector designed to meet the demanding requirements of the MIL-DTL-5015 military specification. This connector is a straight cable end plug (equivalent to the MS3106A style) and is engineered for reliable electrical connection in harsh environments. Its robust construction and proven screw-locking mechanism make it an ideal choice for industrial, military, aerospace, and ground support equipment applications where secure and durable connectivity is paramount.
The key difference from the male version is the contact gender: this part features Socket (Female) contacts.
The part number structure, XY3106A-14S-7S, breaks down as follows:
- XY: Manufacturer/Series Prefix (User-defined)
- 3106A: Shell Style (Straight Cable End Plug)
- 14S: Shell Size (Miniature Shell Size 14S)
- 7: Insert Arrangement (Specific contact layout within the shell)
- S: Contact Type (Socket/Female Contacts)
The connector is designed for cable-to-panel or cable-to-cable connections and includes provisions for an optional cable clamp, ensuring superior strain relief and environmental sealing.
Key Features
- MIL-DTL-5015 Standard Compliance: Adheres to the widely recognized military specification for heavy-duty circular electrical connectors, ensuring interchangeability and proven reliability.
- Robust Screw Lock Coupling: Features a secure and reliable screw-locking mechanism, providing high vibration resistance and a positive, audible connection.
- Straight Cable End Plug: The MS3106A style is a straight plug for cable termination, offering a standard and versatile form factor.
- Solder Termination: Utilizes solder cup contacts, providing a permanent, gas-tight, and highly reliable electrical connection method.
- High Electrical Rating: Capable of handling significant power with a rated current of 13A and a voltage rating of 500VAC / 700VDC.
- Optional Cable Clamp: Designed to accept an optional cable clamp/bushing (e.g., XY3057/3420-6A), which provides essential strain relief and environmental protection for the terminated cable.
- Intermateability: Fully intermateable with corresponding MIL-DTL-5015 receptacles or plugs, specifically the XY3102A-14S-7P (Box Mount Receptacle) and XY3100A-14S-7P (Wall Mount Receptacle) or a male cable plug.
