XY3106A-24-5S: MIL-DTL-5015 Cable Plug, 16-Socket #16 Contacts, 13A, 700V

The XY3106A-24-5S is a high-density, multi-pole 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 robust Shell Size 24 and the 24-05 insert arrangement. This model is configured with 16 female (Socket) contacts of size #16, offering a current rating of 13 Amperes per contact, making it ideal for signal and low-power applications where a high number of lines is required.

The key distinction of this part is its Socket (Female) contacts, making it the mating half for the male plug.

The part number structure, XY3106A-24-5S, breaks down as follows:

• XY: Manufacturer/Series Prefix (User-defined)
• 3106A: Shell Style (Straight Cable End Plug / In-Line)
• 24: Shell Size
• 5: Insert Arrangement (Specific contact layout within the shell)
• S: Contact Type (Socket/Female Contacts)

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