ENVIRONMENTALLY-SEALED FOR CHALLENGING
ENVIRONMENTS
The MIL-DTL-5015 AIT/MS series is a cost-effective threaded circular
connector for use in harsh environments. These Amphenol connectors are
sealed to withstand moisture, condensation, vibration and flash-over. Over 286
contact layouts are available, in variations that allow for just power, just signal,
or a mix of both contact types. Available in five mounting styles, nineteen shell
sizes, and solder or crimp termination.
• Formerly MIL-C-5015
• Power generators
• Engines
• Sensors
• Motion control
• Off-road vehicles
• Earth-moving equipment
• Ships
• Mobile equipment
• Industrial machinery
• Telecommunications
Military, industrial and commercial environments requiring extreme reliability, high-power handling
and cost efficiency.
AGENCY APPROVALS
MIL-DTL-5015 (Formerly MIL-C-5015)
BROAD TEMPERATURE RANGE
These connectors will operate in temperatures ranging from -67°F to +257°F (-55°C to +125°C).
ENVIRONMENTAL
These connectors will perform in the full range of operating conditions as defined in MIL-DTL-5015
and are recommended for conditions where vibration, moisture, pressure and/or temperature are extreme.
RESILIENT INSULATOR AND GROMMET
A resilient neoprene insulator and rear-seal grommet provide a liquid-tight assembly.
RUGGED SHELL
The rugged aluminum alloy shell and hardware are light in weight yet highly resistant to damage
and corrosion. Shells are available in five different styles and in 19 sizes.
WIDE RANGE OF WIRE GAUGES AND CURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY
Up to 150 amps for standard military contacts and up to 255 amps using Radsok® contacts.
Wire gauges from 24 to size 0 AWG.
WIDE VARIETY OF CONTACTS
Machined contacts with silver or gold plating are available in sizes from 16 through 0. Solder,
Crimp, PC, and thermocouple contacts are available.
