XY3106A-22-22P: MIL-DTL-5015 Cable Plug, 4-Pin #8 Contacts, 46A, 1250V

The XY3106A-22-22P is a high-power, heavy-duty circular connector designed for demanding electrical applications that require robust current and voltage handling. It fully complies with the MIL-DTL-5015 military specification. This connector is a straight cable end plug (equivalent to the MS3106A style) featuring a Shell Size 22 and the 22-22 insert arrangement. Unlike the previous connectors, this model utilizes larger #8 contacts, enabling a significantly higher electrical rating of 46 Amperes and a voltage rating of up to 1250VDC.

The part number structure, XY3106A-22-22P, breaks down as follows:

• XY: Manufacturer/Series Prefix (User-defined)
• 3106A: Shell Style (Straight Cable End Plug / In-Line)
• 22: Shell Size
• 22: Insert Arrangement (Specific contact layout within the shell)
• P: Contact Type (Pin/Male Contacts)

The connector is designed for free-hanging cable termination and is ideal for power distribution applications where secure, high-capacity connections are critical.

Key Features

• High Current Capacity: Equipped with #8 contacts, allowing for a robust current rating of 46 Amperes per contact, suitable for power distribution.
• High Voltage Rating: Supports high-voltage applications with a rating of 900VAC / 1250VDC.
• MIL-DTL-5015 Standard Compliance: Adheres to the military specification for heavy-duty circular electrical connectors, ensuring proven reliability and intermateability.
• Robust Screw Lock Coupling: The reliable Screw Lock mechanism ensures a positive, high-vibration-resistant connection, maintaining circuit integrity in dynamic environments.
• Straight Cable End Plug: The MS3106A style is a straight plug for cable termination, offering a standard and versatile form factor.
• Solder Termination: Utilizes Solder termination for the contacts, providing a permanent, gas-tight, and highly reliable electrical connection method.
• Optional Cable Clamp: Designed to accept a heavy-duty cable clamp (e.g., XY3057/3420-12A), which provides essential strain relief for larger cables typically associated with high-current applications.
• Intermateability: Fully intermateable with corresponding MIL-DTL-5015 receptacles, specifically the XY3100A/3102A-22-22S socket arrangements.
