MS5015 / MS3106A 188S / MS3102A 188P — U.S. Military Standard 8Core Aviation Plug Connector A heavyduty, reliable aviation plug connector built to U.S. military standard form and fit. This MSseries connector provides a compact 8pin, 8core electrical interface in 188 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and long service life. It is suitable where a secure, repeatable connection is required for avionics, industrial equipment, and military applications. Key benefits Reliable, repeatable connections: Designed to the MS3102A/MS3106A form factor for consistent mating and secure retention. Corrosionresistant construction: 188 stainless steel shell resists rust and stands up to harsh environments. Compact 8pin interface: Eight core/pins allow multiple signal or power circuits in a single connector to reduce wiring complexity. Easy to use and service: Standard plug (MS3102A 188P) and socket/receptacle (MS3106A 188S) options simplify repairs and replacements. Militarystandard compatibility: Suitable for systems and harnesses that require U.S. Military Standard connectors and form factors. Key attributes Models: MS5015; MS3106A 188S (socket/receptacle); MS3102A 188P (plug) Configuration: 8 core / 8 pin (8P) Material: 188 stainless steel shell (corrosionresistant) Standard: U.S. Military Standard aviation connector form and fit Functionality: Mating plug and socket solution for multicircuit connections Durability: Designed for repeated mating cycles and rugged service environments What it solves Consolidates multiple conductors into a single, secure connector to reduce installation time and connection errors. Replaces worn or nonstandard connectors with a militarystandard interface for predictable performance and easy interchangeability. Protects connections from environmental exposure and mechanical wear with an 188 stainless steel shell. Typical applications / use cases Aircraft and avionics wiring harnesses where a compact, militarystandard 8pin connection is required for instruments, sensors, or control circuits. Military and ground vehicles for reliable multicircuit connections in harsh outdoor or vibrationprone environments. Industrial equipment, test benches, and specialty machinery that need a durable, standardized plugandsocket interface for power and signal distribution. Installation notes Use the specified MS3102A plug/ MS3106A socket mating pair for proper engagement. Ensure wire sizes and contact types are compatible with the 8pin configuration before assembly. Follow standard practices for crimping or soldering contacts and torqueing coupling hardware to maintain reliable performance. This MS5015 / MS3106A 188S / MS3102A 188P connector provides a militarystandard, corrosionresistant 8pin solution for demanding electrical interconnects where reliability, serviceability, and compatibility are required.
