The XY3106A-20-8S is a high-performance, military-grade circular connector designed as a Cable End Plug for secure and dependable connection in demanding industrial, aerospace, and defense applications. Adhering to the robust MIL-DTL-5015 standard, this connector is engineered for reliable mixed power and signal transmission in harsh environments.
Key Features and Construction
This connector is a Cable End Plug, designed to be terminated onto a cable and mate with a panel receptacle, such as the XY3102A-20-8P. The Screw Lock mechanism ensures a positive, robust, and vibration-resistant connection when mated.
The connector features a Shell Size of 20 and a 6-Pole contact arrangement that accommodates a mix of contact sizes for versatile power and signal handling:
- 4 x Size #16 Contacts: Typically used for signal or lower-power lines (rated 13A).
- 2 x Size #8 Contacts: Used for high-current power lines (rated 46A).
The connector's Gender is Female (Socket Contacts), and the contacts are designed for Solder Termination, providing a permanent and highly reliable connection to the internal wiring. The suggested cable clamp accessory for this shell size is the XY3057/3420-12A.
Electrical Specifications for Reliable Performance
The mixed-contact configuration allows the connector to handle a wide range of electrical loads:
- Current Rating: 13A for Size #16 contacts and 46A for Size #8 contacts.
- Voltage Rating: Capable of handling 200VAC / 250VDC.
These ratings confirm the connector's suitability for applications requiring simultaneous high-power distribution and multi-line signal integrity.
