Amphenol 3106A-16S MS Military Connector Shell

Amphenol MS3106A16S straight plug shell is the metal outer housing in Amphenol’s 97-series MIL-DTL-5015 circular connector family, designed to accommodate a 16‑position insert in the plug half. As a shell component, it defines the mating interface with the corresponding receptacle shell and works with standard insert arrangements to form a complete MS3106A circular connector. The 16S designation identifies the shell size used with inserts configured for 16 positions, enabling assemblies that support up to 16 contacts in the plug. Catalog variants include 97-3106A-16S-1S (straight plug shell) and 97-3106A-16S-1P (straight receptacle shell), reflecting plug and receptacle configurations for shell size 16S.
