MS3108 Right Angle Plug | MIL-DTL-5015 Circular Connector for Confined Industrial Spaces

Product Overview

The MS3108 right angle plug is a heavy-duty cable-end circular connector in the MIL-DTL-5015 (formerly MIL-C-5015) family. It is designed for applications where space is limited and cables must route immediately after the connector.

Featuring a 90-degree cable outlet and threaded coupling mechanism, the MS3108 provides secure mating, improved cable management, and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. It is commonly used in machinery, automation systems, power equipment, military-derived platforms, and legacy systems built around MIL-DTL-5015 circular connectors.

We supply MS3108  connectors that are compatible with widely used connector platforms such as Amphenol 97-3108 and ITT Cannon CA3108, while providing flexible MOQs, stable supply, and practical lead times.

Typical Shell Size Range: 10SL to 36
Connector Type: Right Angle Cable-End Plug

Key Features of Our MS3108 Right Angle Plugs

MIL-DTL-5015 Compatible Interface

Designed around the MIL-DTL-5015 interface standard, allowing intermateability with compliant 5015-series connectors used in industrial and legacy applications.

Space-Saving 90° Cable Exit

The right-angle outlet routes cables parallel to the equipment surface, helping reduce rear clearance requirements and improving cable routing in confined installations.

Simplified Assembly Options

Selected configurations may be available with a split right-angle backshell design, providing easier access during wiring, inspection, and maintenance.

Secure Threaded Coupling

A threaded coupling ring ensures reliable mechanical retention and stable electrical contact in environments subject to vibration and repeated operation.

Controlled Cable Bend Radius

The internal cable path supports smoother cable routing, helping reduce jacket stress and minimize the risk of insulation damage.

Strain Relief Support

Compatible with clamps, boots, and grommets for additional cable retention and strain relief at the connector interface.

Power and Signal Capability

Available insert arrangements support both power and signal transmission requirements across a wide range of industrial applications.

Durable Metal Construction

Typically manufactured with aluminum alloy shells and industrial-grade finishes for excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
