Cinch’s “MS” series connectors meet or exceed all of the requirements for qualifica-tion to MIL-C-26482 Series I Solder and are listed in the U.S. Government’s Qualified Product List.

They are available in nine shell sizes and over thirty insert arrangements with both pin or socket contacts. Shells and hardware are made of high strength aluminum alloys, cadmium plated with a chromate overplate as standard.

Shells are provided with five keyways to insure proper alignment when mated. Mated shells are held together by three bayonet pins on receptacles and bayonet locking coupling nuts on plugs. These provide visual and audible confirmation of complete mating.

All “PW/MS” receptacle and plug connectors can be ordered with pin or socket con-tacts. Contact sizes are 20, 16, and 12 gauge, available with either solder cup or PC tail termination. Contacts are made of copper alloy, gold plated per MIL-G-45204, with closed entry design for socket contacts.

Many special features are available such as electroless nickel or colored anodized fin-ish, stainless steel shells, clinch nuts, Viton or silicone inserts. For modifications or materials not shown in the catalog, contact your Cinch sales representative.
