The XY3106A-22-23P is a high-performance circular connector designed for reliable electrical connection in harsh environments, fully compliant 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 22-23 insert arrangement. This model is configured with 8 male (Pin) contacts of size #12, offering a substantial current rating of 23 Amperes per contact, making it suitable for both power and signal applications.

The part number structure, XY3106A-22-23P, breaks down as follows:

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

The connector is designed for free-hanging cable termination and utilizes the proven Screw Lock mechanism for secure mating.

Key Features

• Mid-Range Power/Signal: Features #12 contacts, providing a strong balance between current-carrying capacity (23 Amperes) and contact density (8 positions).
• MIL-DTL-5015 Standard Compliance: Adheres to the military specification for heavy-duty circular electrical connectors, ensuring proven reliability and intermateability within the MS 5015 series.
• Robust Shell: Constructed with a durable Aluminum Alloy shell and Olive Drab Zinc plating for excellent environmental and corrosion resistance.
• Secure Screw Lock Coupling: The reliable Screw Lock mechanism ensures a positive, high-vibration-resistant connection, maintaining circuit integrity in dynamic environments.
• Solder Termination: Utilizes Solder termination for the contacts, providing a permanent, gas-tight, and highly reliable electrical connection method.
• Voltage Rating: Rated for 500VAC / 700VDC, suitable for a wide range of industrial and military operating voltages.
• Optional Cable Clamp: Designed to accept a cable clamp (e.g., XY3057/3420-12A), which provides essential strain relief for the terminated cable.
