MS3102 Connectors | MIL-DTL-5015 Box Mount Receptacle Panel Mount Circular Connectors

Product Overview

MS3102 connectors are box mount receptacles in the MIL-DTL-5015 circular connector family, designed as fixed panel-side interfaces for industrial, military, and legacy equipment applications. With a square-flange mounting design and threaded coupling interface, MS3102 panel mount circular connectors provide stable electrical performance in vibration-prone and demanding environments.

As both a manufacturer and an industrial sourcing partner, we do more than just resell standard MS3102 parts. Our product line is optimized around common legacy configurations, cross-reference requirements, and flexible commercial supply, giving OEMs and industrial buyers a practical alternative to traditional tier‑1 distributor channels.

  • Product Type: MS3102 Box Mount Receptacle, MIL-DTL-5015

  • Typical Shell Sizes: 10SL–36 (standard legacy range)

  • Interface Compatibility: Mates with MS3106 / MS3108 within the same family

  • Supply Advantage: Legacy cross-reference support, flexible MOQs, factory‑direct style pricing

What Is an MS3102 Connector?

The MS3102 connector is the box mount receptacle variant in the MIL‑DTL‑5015 circular connector series. It is engineered for panel-side mounting and used as a fixed interface on:

  • Control cabinets and industrial panels

  • Electrical enclosures and junction boxes

  • Bulkhead plates and machine frames

Typical structural characteristics:

  • Square flange with four mounting holes for secure panel mounting

  • Rear wiring cavity for internal solder terminations

  • Threaded coupling interface for secure mating with plugs

  • Compact footprint suitable for dense panel layouts

On top of these standard characteristics, our MS3102 range is selected and structured for easy replacement of legacy parts, making it straightforward to drop into existing BOMs and drawings.

Key Features – MS3102 Connector Performance

  1. MIL‑DTL‑5015 Interface Standard
    Based on the widely used MIL-DTL-5015 / SAE-AS50151 legacy interface for proven form, fit, and function.

  2. Rugged Box Mount Receptacle Design
    Square flange, four-hole mount design provides a rigid and repeatable panel interface.

  3. Threaded Coupling for Vibration Resistance
    Threaded coupling mechanism maintains stable mating under shock and vibration.

  4. Power and Signal Capable
    Supports multiple contact sizes and insert arrangements for power, control, and signal circuits.

  5. Pin or Socket Options
    Available as pin (P) or socket (S) receptacles depending on your system standard and mating plug design.

  6. Multiple Shell Sizes & Insert Layouts
    Supports common shell sizes from 10SL up to 36 with various insert patterns for different pin counts.

  7. Industrial Shell Materials & Platings
    Aluminum alloy shells with standard industrial plating options for mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

 Advantages with MS3102 Connectors

  1. Legacy Cross‑Reference Expertise
    We actively support customers migrating from legacy brands (e.g., Amphenol, ITT Cannon, and other MIL‑DTL‑5015 suppliers). Our team helps map existing part numbers, drawings, or panel layouts to a compatible MS3102 configuration with minimal design change.

  2. Optimized Around Common Commercial Configurations
    Instead of stocking every theoretical variant, our MS3102 offering is built around high‑demand shell sizes and insert arrangements that are actually used in industrial and legacy programs. This keeps availability strong on the configurations you are most likely to need.

  3. Flexible MOQs for Production and Maintenance
    We support both small maintenance batches for field repair and larger production volumes for OEM lines, making it easier to align connector purchases with real BOM consumption.

  4. Cost‑Effective Alternative to Tier‑1 Distribution
    By combining manufacturing capability with direct industrial sourcing, we offer a cost‑efficient alternative to traditional tier‑1 distributors, without sacrificing form, fit, or function.

  5. Configuration & Documentation Support
    For projects that require drawing confirmation, insert layout selection, or keying position definition, our team can assist with configuration suggestions and documentation to shorten engineering review cycles.

  6. Scalable Supply for Legacy Programs
    Many MS3102 applications are in long‑life platforms. We structure our MS3102 supply to support ongoing maintenance and mid‑to‑long‑term production, not just one‑off spot buys.
