Catalog 12-020, Amphenol MIL-DTL-5015 and MIL-
5015 Type Standard Cylindrical Connectors, is also
available upon request. This catalog covers the MIL-
5015 cylindrical connectors with solder contacts. It
also covers the MIL-5015 type connectors with propri-
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 listed on the qualified products listing
(QPL).

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NOTE: MIL-C-5015 is superceded to MIL-DTL-5015 for all Amphenol/Matrix rear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.

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.
