Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing MilitaryDepartment's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or bycontacting the responsible packaging activity.6. NOTES(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature which may be helpful,but is not mandatory.)6.1 Intended use. MIL-DTL-5015 is a specification that covers connectors with bothmilitary and commercial applications. Revision H to this document is a maintenance action, priorto conversion of the document to a nongovernment standard. These connectors are rated foroperation within a temperature range of –55 °C (-67 °F) to either 125 °C (257 °F), 175 °C(347 °F), or 200 °C (392 °F) depending upon the class. The upper temperature is the maximuminternal hot spot temperature resulting from any combination of electrical load and ambientconditions. The various classes and types of connectors are intended for application as follows:a. MS3100, MS3400, MS3450, and SAE-AS34001 are receptacles intended for wall orbulkhead mounting and for use with conduit or cable clamp.b. MS3101, MS3401, MS3451, SAE-AS34011 are receptacles intended for use at the end ofa cable where mounting provisions are not required.c. MS3102, MS3402, MS3452, and SAE-AS34021 are receptacles intended for mountingon shielding boxes and equipment cases. They have no fittings and are for use with openwiring. They are nonenvironmental and are intended for use on boxes where environmental seal isachieved by some other means.Source: http://www.assistdocs.com -- Downloaded: 2008-04-23T19:37ZCheck the source to verify that this is the current version before use.Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com on 2009-07-29T22:41:36.MIL-DTL-5015H60d. MS3404, MS3412, MS3454, SAE-AS34041, SAE-AS34121, and SAE-AS34541 arereceptacles intended for wall or bulkhead mounting and for use with conduit or a cable clamp.e. MS3106, MS3406, MS3409, MS3456, and SAE-AS34061 are plugs intended for use atthe end of a cable to be mated with a receptacle. MS3409 is a 45° plug intended for use at theend of a cable where space does not permit the use of a straight plug.f. MS3107 and MS3507 are plugs intended for use at the end of a cable which may requirerapid disconnect from a receptacle.g. MS3108 and MS3408 are 90° plugs intended for use at the end of a cable where spacedoes not permit the use of a straight plug.h. MS3103 is a receptacle intended for use in applications where a potted seal around wiresis required.i. MS25183 is a plug intended for use in applications where a potted seal around wires isrequired.j. SAE-AS34591 is a plug with a self-locking coupling nut which is designed for firewallapplications.k. All classes of the series I are either canceled or inactive for new design. For the status ofspecific classes see applicable MS sheets.l. Class A connectors are solid shell connectors are intended for nonenvironmentalapplications.m. Class B connectors are split shell connectors intended for nonenvironmental applications.The split shell provides greater accessibility to solder connections, as may be needed if thecable is contained in conduit.n. Class C receptacles are intended for use on the walls and bulkheads of pressurizedcompartments and on the cases of pressurized equipment. They will limit air leakage to theamount specified by 3.9.1, regardless of the type and class of plug mated with them.o. Class D connectors are intended for use where the connectors will be subjected to high-impact shock conditions beyond the capabilities of the other class connectors. Theseconnectors have crimp contacts which are released from the front of the connector and awire sealing range capable of sealing on naval shipboard cable. These connectors also have aspecified shell conductivity.Source: http://www.assistdocs.com -- Downloaded: 2008-04-23T19:37ZCheck the source to verify that this is the current version before use.Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com on 2009-07-29T22:41:36.MIL-DTL-5015H61p. Class E connectors are inactive for new design.q. Classes D, F, L, P, R, U, and W connectors are intended for use where the connector willbe subject to heavy condensation and rapid changes in temperature or pressure, and wherethe connector is subject to high vibratory conditions. To ensure proper performance, aclass D, F, L, P, R, U or W connector plug must always be mated to a class D, F, L, P, R, U orW receptacle. A type MS3102 (F and R), MS3402 (D, L, U, and W) MS3412 (D, L, U, and W)SAE-AS34021 (D, L, U, and W), or SAE-AS34121 (D, L, U, and W) receptacle does notprovide moisture or vibration protection at its back end, and a type MS3100 (F and R), MS3400(D, L, U, and W), or SAE-AS34001 (D, L, U, and W) should be used if such protection isdesirable. Class F and R receptacles are intended for use on the walls and bulkheads ofpressurized compartments and on the cases of pressurized equipment. They limit air leakage tothe amount specified in 3.9.1 regardless of the type and class of plug mated to them. Potting formfor class P connectors should remain with the connector after potting.r. Class H receptacles are intended for use on hermetically sealed devices and theirperformance requirements are determined by the particular application. They shouldmaintain the degree of seal required by the equipment specification and for mating with plugsconforming to the requirements of this specification.s. Class K connectors are intended for use where it is necessary to maintain electricalcontinuity for a limited time even though the connector is subjected to continuous flame. Toensure such continuity, both receptacle and mated plug must be class K, and high-temperaturewires must be used. If flame integrity only is desired, without the need for electrical continuity, aclass K receptacle must be used but the mated plug may be of any type and class.t. Class L connectors are intended for use where the connector will be subjected to elevatedtemperature 175 °C (347 °F) and where complete fluid resistance is required. These connectorshave crimp contacts and are available in both front (MS34XX) and rear (MS345X) releaseretention systems. These connectors have a specified shell conductivity.u. Class U connectors are intended for use where the connector will be subject to heavycondensation and rapid changes in temperature or pressure, and where the connector is subject tohigh vibratory conditions and elevated temperature 200 °C (392 °F). These connectors havecrimp contacts and are available in both front (MS34XX) and rear (MS345X) release retentionsystems. In addition, these connectors provide complete fluid resistance.v. Class W connectors are intended for general use where complete fluid resistance isrequired. These connectors have crimp contacts and are available in both front (MS34XX) andrear (MS345X) release retention systems.Source: http://www.assistdocs.com -- Downloaded: 2008-04-23T19:37ZCheck the source to verify that this is the current version before use.Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com on 2009-07-29T22:41:36.MIL-DTL-5015H62w. Crimp contact connectors should have contacts installed in all positions when theconnector is wired. Sealing plugs should be installed in the grommet holes when no wire isattached to the contact in grommet sealed connectors.x. Counterpart solder and crimp contact connectors are intended to be intermateable.Moisture resistance capability is then reduced to that of the solder contact connectors.y. If air leakage requirements are critical, a resilient insert receptacle or class H receptacleshould be used or the connector should be potted.6.1.1 Wire sizes to be used with contacts. It is intended that size 6 wire should be crimpedor soldered to a size 4 contact because no size 6 contacts are provided and size 4 is the nextlarger. Except for class K connectors, satisfactory performance of connectors will be obtained ifwire sizes are governed by table II. For wire diameters less than specified in table II, shrink-fitsleeving should be used over the wire. Where two or more wires are used in a solder cup,moisture sealing is not obtainable. Wires should be potted if seal is required. Electricallyconductive bushings as provided for in MS3348 or SAE-AS33481 should be used in crimpingsizes 10, 6, and 2 wire in contact sizes 8, 4, and 0 respectively. Only one conductor should beused in crimp removable contacts.6.1.2 Working voltage. The maximum recommended sea level working voltage is shown intable XVIII.TABLE XVIII.
