Amphenol 97-3101A-16S-850 Military Connector Plug

Amphenol 97-3101A-16S-850 is a Mil-Spec circular connector plug from Amphenol’s 97 Series, shell size 16S, with a 52-position insert. It’s the cable-side plug that mates with a corresponding 16S receptacle in the same 97 Series family, and the 850 suffix denotes the standard 52-way insert configuration (aliases include 97-3101A-16S(850) and 97-3101A-16S(0850)). This plug features the rugged cylindrical housing typical of Amphenol MS/97 Series connectors, designed for high-vibration, mission-critical applications in aerospace, defense equipment, aircraft, ground vehicles, and other mil-spec environments. A notable feature in the 97 Series is the availability of safety-wire holes in the plug variant, aiding secure, aircraft-compliant mounting. When paired with a matching 16S receptacle, it enables routing of multiple signals and low-power circuits through a single, standardized connector interface, and is compatible with the series’ standard backshells and mating components.
