MIL-DTL-5015 /AS50151
Features and Application
Series III
Features and Application
e threaded coupling, environmentally sealed
MIL-DTL-5015 Series III connector with rear-removable
crimp contacts was developed to replace the earlier solder
type. is 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*). us, it provides for a minimum eort and high
economy upgrade for existing applications.
ese 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.
is family of connectors is oered in four receptacle
mounting congurations. ey include two square ange
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 oered - standard plug with free
rotating coupling nut with safety wire holes, and a self-lock-
ing, anti-decoupling plug, which eliminates the need for
safety wiring.
Eighty-eight insert arrangements per MIL-STD-1651 are tooled
and qualied 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.
ese connectors are available in wide range of shell
materials and nishes. Aluminum shells are oered in
both electroless nickel and olive drab cadmium to both
commercial and MS callouts. Other nishes such as anodic
and zinc cobalt are available upon request to commercial
callouts only. In addition, we oer passivated stainless steel
shells with both standard and rewall-rated inserts, and
carbon steel shells with rewall inserts.
Lockwiring Eliminated – Self-locking plug eliminates the
need for lockwiring.
Universal I/R Tool – A single, expendable plastic tool is used
for both insertion and removal of contacts.
Insert Polarization – Alternate insert clocking positions
aid in mating of adjacent connectors having identical insert
arrangement.
Closed-Entry Socket Insert – Hard dielectric socket face has
lead-in chamfers for positive alignment of pins (even partially
bent within pre-established limits) with sockets.
Interfacial Pin Insert Seal – Raised moisture barriers around
each pin, which mate into lead-in chamfers of hard face
socket insert, provide individual contact sealing. Interfacial
seal is never touched by service tools.
Elastomer Wire Sealing Grommet – Sealing over a wide
range of wire diameters is assured by a triple wire seal in each
cavity at the rear of the connector.
Superior Contact Stability – Rear release crimp contact
system features a stamped beryllium-copper retaining clip
captivated by molded-in shoulders of each contact cavity in
the insulator. A rear-inserted M81969 plastic tool expands
the tines beyond the shoulder, releasing the contact.

Contact Installation Instructions
MS345*/AE55*
Contact Installation
Instructions
Crimping Contacts
1. Select the appropriate crimp tool and ensure that the
proper crimp head positioner is used.
2. Cycle the tool to be sure the indentors are open.
3. Determine the correct selector setting for the wire size
from the data plate on the positioner (turret head
assembly) and set the selector knob on the crimp tool
to match.
4. Place the contact, mating end rst, into the tool.
5. Insert the stripped wire into the hollow end of the
contact. Be sure the wire is inserted as far as it will go.
6. Close the tool completely to crimp. Unless the tool is
closed completely, the tool will not release the contact.
7. Remove the crimped contact from the tool. Check the
inspection hole to verify that the wire is fully inserted.
Insertion of Contacts
1. Before inserting the contacts, unscrew the accessories
(clamps, backshells or adapters) from rear of plug or
receptacle. Slide the hardware over the wire bundle in
the proper order for reassembly aer all the contacts
are inserted.
2. To assist insertion of contacts, lubricate insulator
(grommet) cavities with isopropyl alcohol. Alcohol will
evaporate and will not leave a conductive lm. Caution:
Never use any lubricant other than isopropyl alcohol.
3. Place the correct insertion tool on the contact so that the
wire runs along the groove in the tool. (Tool tip will butt
against the shoulder.) Hold the plug or receptacle body
rmly.
4. Beginning with a center cavity, insert the contact into
the insulator with a slow, even pressure until the contact
snaps into position. Make sure the contact and tool are
held perpendicular to the face of the insert during the
contact installation or the grommet could be damaged.
4.1 If contacts are not inserted all the way prior to
removing insertion tool, do not try to reinsert the
insertion tool. Instead, remove the contact and try
again; otherwise reinserting the insertion tool may
damage the inside of the contact cavity.
5. Remove tool and check the face of the connector for
proper contact installation. Proper installation may also
be checked by pulling back lightly on the wire to make
sure the contact is properly seated.
Completion
Aer all the cavities have been lled, slide the hardware back
into position on the connector and tighten.
Extraction of Contacts (Rework)
1. Slide the hardware back over the wire bundle.
2. Select the appropriate tool. Place the wire into the ex-
traction tool of the pin or socket.
3. Slowly slide the extraction tool down wire into the contact
cavities until the tool tip bottoms against the contact
shoulder, expanding the clip retaining tines. Hold the
wire rmly in the tool and pull the wired contact and tool
straight out of the rear of the insulator.

Polarization (Insert Clocking)
1.In the normal insert clocking position (position N),
the insert centerline coincides with the centerline of
the master keyway (key) of the shell: L = 0°.
2.In the alternate clocking positions (W, X, Y and Z),
the pin insert (viewing from mating side) is rotated
clockwise relative to the centerline of the master
keyway (key) of the shell.
3.e socket insert is rotated counter-clockwise.
4.Plugs have keyways; receptacles have keys.
Note: Be careful with alternate positions. See table below for
position availability on layouts of interest.
