Amphenol 97-3106A-22 MS Military Connector Shell

Amphenol 97-3106A-22 is a straight plug shell from the 97-Series MS military circular connector family, shell size 22. Supplied in a bag, this plug shell serves as the front housing for a plug assembly and accepts the standard insert arrangements associated with MS3106A-style plugs. As a member of the MIL-DTL-5015 family, the 97-3106A-22 is designed to mate with the corresponding MS3106A-22 receptacle half to form a complete circular connector interface. It provides the exterior profile and mounting interface required by MS3106A connectors, enabling reliable alignment and a secure mating connection when paired with the appropriate insert arrangement and backshell components. This part is used in applications where a MIL-SPEC circular connector shell is required for the plug portion of a size-22 configuration, and it is offered by Amphenol as part of their broad MS-series lineup. The designation 97-3106A-22 identifies the 97-Series plug-shell with shell size 22 and a plug configuration, ensuring compatibility with standard 22-size MS3106A inserts and backshells used in Amphenol’s MIL-DTL-5015 connector ecosystem.
