Amphenol 97-3106A28-16PY Circular Connector

The Amphenol 97-3106A28-16PY is a straight-plug, MIL-DTL-5015 circular connector from Amphenol’s 97 Series, shell size 28, with 16 contact positions. Built around an aluminum alloy shell and featuring a split-shell design for easier maintenance and cable routing, it is intended for rugged environments where reliable interconnects are required. As part of the MS3106A family (straight-plug variant in the 97-3106A line), it mates with compatible 97 Series inserts to meet MIL-DTL-5015 specifications and is suitable for military, aerospace, and industrial applications that demand medium-density cabling in a compact form factor. Typical use cases include aircraft and ground-support equipment, naval and shipboard systems, robotics, and other equipment requiring a durable circular interconnect with 16 circuits. The 28 shell size communicates a balance between physical size and contact count, and the 16-position arrangement supports a range of signal, power, or mixed-contact configurations within the same family of connectors.
