The XY3106A-22-23S is a high-performance circular connector designed for reliable electrical connection in harsh environments, fully compliant 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 22-23 insert arrangement. This model is configured with 8 female (Socket) contacts of size #12, offering a substantial current rating of 23 Amperes per contact, making it suitable for both power and signal applications.
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-22-23S, breaks down as follows:
- XY: Manufacturer/Series Prefix (User-defined)
- 3106A: Shell Style (Straight Cable End Plug / In-Line)
- 22: Shell Size
- 23: Insert Arrangement (Specific contact layout within the shell)
- S: Contact Type (Socket/Female Contacts)
The connector is designed for free-hanging cable termination and utilizes the proven Screw Lock mechanism for secure mating.
Key Features
- Mid-Range Power/Signal: Features #12 contacts, providing a strong balance between current-carrying capacity (23 Amperes) and contact density (8 positions).
- MIL-DTL-5015 Standard Compliance: Adheres to the military specification for heavy-duty circular electrical connectors, ensuring proven reliability and intermateability within the MS 5015 series.
