MIL-DTL-5015: Difference between revisions

MIL-DTL-5015 "CONNECTORS, ELECTRICAL, CIRCULAR THREADED, AN TYPE, GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR covers circular electrical connectors with solder or removable crimp contacts (both front and rear release). These connectors are for use in electronic, electrical power, and control circuits. The military specification was superseded by SAE-AS50151 in December 2009.

Originally known as MIL-C-5015 connectors, the original solder connectors circular connectors were first used for aviation applications during World War II and subsequently used for military, civil, and industrial applications due to their versatility, reliability, and ease of supply.

There are 19 shell sizes—from size-8 to size-40—with over 159 approved insert arrangements incorporating 1—to—854 contacts according to MIL-STD-1651 INSERT ARRANGEMENTS FOR MIL-C-5015, MIL-C-22992 (CLASSES C, J, AND R), AND MIL-C-83723 (SERIES II) ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS. The connectors are available with a choice of wall mount, box mount, cable connecting and jam-nut receptacles, as well as standard or self-locking plugs. Similar connectors with different contact arrangements and bayonet coupling rings are made to comply with MIL-C-26482 CONNECTORS, ELECTRICAL, (CIRCULAR, MINIATURE, QUICK DISCONNECT, ENVIRONMENT RESISTING), RECEPTACLES AND PLUGS, GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR.

Many commercial variants exist of both types which intermate with the military versions. Amphenol and Vansystem are notable manufacturers of this type of connectors. The connectors are also sometimes called "Type AN" connectors, "MS connectors" or "Amphenol connectors".

• GLENAIR lenair's line of 5015 Type Harsh Environment Connectors are designed to provide outstanding corrosion resistance and rugged performance. These stainless steel, aluminum and composite thermoplastic plugs and receptacles are ideally suited for severe environments such as geophysical exploration, mining and other settings where resistance to extreme temperatures, salt spray and caustic chemicals is a critical requirement. Fully compliant with the Mil-DTL-5015 specification, the connectors offer additional design features and materials advantages which make them exceptional values for many interconnect applications. Composite versions are manufactured from a 40% glass filled Ryton engineering plastic. Ryton is a high temperature, injection molded material with good mechanical properties and excellent chemical resistance at elevated temperatures, up to 500°F. The material provides outstanding resistance to a broad spectrum of aggressive chemicals and has very stable dielectric and insulating properties. The connectors are designed for rugged field use, and feature large profile knurlings for ease of handling, and anti-decoupling springs for maintenance-free performance. A complete range of pin sizes and insert arrangements are available.

• ITT/Cannon Mil-DTL-5015E/R—Designed and qualified to Mil-DTL 5015. Environmental resistant with solder termination. Similar to MS A&B series except have resilient insulators and wire sealing grommets. This series includes integral cable clamps for wire strain relief at the rear of the connector. O-rings provide sealing at the interface. Crimp contacts are available; and MS A&B—Designed to Mil-C 5015 specifications. High reliability commercial and industrial connector. Proven track record of performance and quality. General purpose connectors now available in RoHS compliant version.
