Connectors: 5015 Series

5015 Series: Aero-Electric/Conesys – 5015 Series III Rear Release

Aero-Electric/Conesys MIL-DTL-5015 Series III Rear Release

Cylindrical, threaded coupling, environmentally sealed connector

The threaded coupling, environmentally sealed MIL-DTL-5015 Series III connector with rear-removable crimp contacts was developed to replace the earlier solder type. This redesigned connector is intermateable and intermountable with the MIL-DTL-5015 Series I solder type (MS310*) as well as the MIL-DTL- 83723 Series II (USAF) crimp type and MIL-DTL-5015 Series II Front Release (MS340*). Thus, it provides for a minimum effort and high economy upgrade for existing applications. These connectors are recommended for a wide range of applications, from commercial/industrial and mass transportation systems to the most stringent high reliability defense and aerospace requirements. This family of connectors is offered in four receptacle mounting configurations. They include two square flange receptacles, both wall and box mounting; cable connecting receptacles; and jam nut receptacles which incorporate “O” ring seals, designed for rear panel “D” hole mounting. Two plug styles are offered – standard plug with free rotating coupling nut with safety wire holes, and a self-locking, anti-decoupling plug, which eliminates the need for safety wiring. Eighty-eight insert arrangements per MIL-STD-1651 are tooled and qualified to MIL-DTL-5015, utilizing 1 to 85 contacts. Contacts come in sizes 16, 12, 8, 4 and 0, terminating wire sizes from 20 gauge to 0 gauge. These connectors are available in wide range of shell materials and finishes. Aluminum shells are offered in both electroless nickel and olive drab cadmium to both commercial and MS callouts. Other finishes such as anodic and zinc cobalt are available upon request to commercial callouts only. In addition, we offer passivated stainless steel shells with both standard and firewall-rated inserts, and carbon steel shells with firewall inserts.
