AMPHENOL-connector— MS/Standard MS-E/F
MS-E & F
MS Class F connectors satisfy all the performance requirements of MIL-DTL-5015. Class E, environmental is also produced, but is no longer listed on the qualified products listing (QPL). These connectors are recommended for conditions where vibration, moisture, pressure and/or temperature are extreme. Strain relief is supplied on most shell sizes.
Shells:
Shell components are fabricated from high grade aluminum alloy. The standard hardware plating is electrically conductive cadmium plated finish with an olive drab chromate after-treatment for corrosion resistance. Consult Amphenol, Sidney, NY for other plating options.
Contacts:
Contacts are silver plated copper alloy for maximum corrosion resistance, maximum current carrying capacity and low millivolt drop. Size 16 and 12 socket contacts incorporate a closed entry design. Crimp and solder versions are available. Refer to pages 49, 67 and 68 for additional contact information.
Inserts:
Resilient neoprene inserts provide an outstanding moisture barrier, high dielectric strength, and resistance to vibration. Either pin or socket insert can be pressurized.
Strain Relief Clamp:
Strain relief clamps minimize tension at the solder wellconnection and provide a positive mechanical moistureseal. Complete field serviceability is possible with the strain relief clamp.
