The XY3106A-22-22S is a high-power, heavy-duty circular connector designed for demanding electrical applications that require robust current and voltage handling. It fully complies with the MIL-DTL-5015 military specification. This connector is a straight cable end plug (equivalent to the MS3106A style) featuring a Shell Size 22 and the 22-22 insert arrangement. This model utilizes larger #8 contacts, enabling a significantly higher electrical rating of 46 Amperes and a voltage rating of up to 1250VDC.

The key distinction of this part is its Socket (Female) contacts, making it the mating half for the male receptacle.

The part number structure, XY3106A-22-22S, breaks down as follows:

• XY: Manufacturer/Series Prefix (User-defined)
• 3106A: Shell Style (Straight Cable End Plug / In-Line)
• 22: Shell Size
• 22: Insert Arrangement (Specific contact layout within the shell)
• S: Contact Type (Socket/Female Contacts)

The connector is designed for free-hanging cable termination and is ideal for power distribution applications where secure, high-capacity connections are critical.

Key Features

• High Current Capacity: Equipped with #8 contacts, allowing for a robust current rating of 46 Amperes per contact, suitable for power distribution.
• High Voltage Rating: Supports high-voltage applications with a rating of 900VAC / 1250VDC.
• MIL-DTL-5015 Standard Compliance: Adheres to the military specification for heavy-duty circular electrical connectors, ensuring proven reliability and intermateability.
• Robust Screw Lock Coupling: The reliable Screw Lock mechanism ensures a positive, high-vibration-resistant connection, maintaining circuit integrity in dynamic environments.
• 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 termination for the contacts, providing a permanent, gas-tight, and highly reliable electrical connection method.
