etary crimp contacts in a very broad range of insert
patterns - up to 280 different arrangements. Within
these connector styles, MIL-C-5015 has been
replaced as follows: Environmental classes F and R
are updated to and produced in strict accordance to
MIL-DTL-5015. Classes A, C and E are still produced,
but are no longer li sted on the qua lifi ed products l isting
(QPL).

Amphenol broad ens their M S/Standard family of connec-
tors with the MIL-DTL-5015 Crimp Rear Release Series.
This series provides an alternative to the older MIL-C-5015
solder type. It bridges the gap between an old connector stan-
dard and the environmental and high performance needs of
current technologies.
DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS
• Medium to heavy weight cylindrical
• MS345( ) series intermateable with existing MIL-DTL-
5015 solder or crimp versions on existing equipment
• Captive coupling nut mechanism, utilizes retaining rings in
combination with “L” washers to prevent inadvertent disas-
sembly
• Multiple interlock systems ensure permanent insert reten-
tion
• Positive control of dielectric separation with guaranteed
ease of contact insertion
• Positive contact retention provided by a closely toleranced
damage-proof metal retention clip
• Completely sealed against environmental extremes with -
• individual contact seals (conical risers on pin interface)
• interfacial seals between contacts
• peripheral gasket shell-to-shell seals
• redundant rear wire seals and insert-to-shell seals
CUSTOMER OPTIONS
• Seven mounting styles, in shell sizes 8 to 48*
• Threaded coupling or self-locking plug (MS3459) with an
internal racheting mechanism to prevent unmating due to
vibration and shock, eliminating the need for safety wiring
• Proprietary quick disconnect plug, with or without lanyard
available
• Classes include aluminum or stainless steel shells, or
firewall capability
• MS and Proprietary versions available
• Some styles are supplied to McDonnell Douglas Specifica-
tion BAN 7025, DC60 Series
• Accommodation of contact sizes 0 to 16
• Over 100 insert arrangement patterns available, accom-
modating from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 85 circuits
• Alternate positioning available
• Thermocouple pin and socket contacts are available**
NOTE: MIL-C-5015 is superceded to MIL-DTL-5015 for all Amphenol/Matrix rear
release crimp type contacts.
* Consult Amphenol, Sidney, NY for availability of shell sizes 44 and 48.
** Consult Amphenol, Sidney, NY for information on thermocouple contacts.

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
SHOCK
Wired, mated connectors are subjected to one shock in each of three mutu-
ally perpendicular axes with pulse of an approximate half sine wave of 50g
magnitude for a duration of 11 milliseconds. All contacts wired in series cir-
cuit with 100 ±10 milliamperes of current flow.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE
Classes L, LS and KS have temperature range of
–55°C (–75°F) to 200°C (392°F)
Classes W and KT have temperature range of
–55°C (–75°F) to 175°C (347°F)
ENVIRONMENTAL SEAL
Wired, mated connectors with the specified accessory attached will meet
the altitude immersion test specified in MIL-DTL-5015.
DURABILITY
Minimum of 100 mating cycles.

To avoid cross-plugging problems in applications requiring
the use of more than one connector of the same size and
arrangement, alternate rotations are available as indicated
in the accompanying charts.
As shown in the diagram below, the front face of the pin
insert is rotated within the shell in a clockwise direction from
the normal shell key. The socket insert would be rotated
counter-clockwise the same number of degrees in respect to
the normal shell key.
The charts give the W, X, Y, Z positions for the alternate
rotations available for the insert arrangements of the rear
