Amphenol Aerospace MIL-DTL-5015 Matrix Connectors
Amphenol Aerospace MIL-DTL-5015 Matrix Connectors utilize crimp rear-release contacts instead of traditional solder-type connectors. These high-power connectors incorporate RADSOK technology to enhance current-carrying capacity by up to 40% compared to standard designs. The Matrix 5015 series bridges legacy MIL-C-5015 compatibility with modern environmental and high-performance requirements. These devices offer voltage ratings up to 3000VAC, current handling up to 225A, operating temperature range from -55°C to +200°C, and IP67-rated sealing against moisture and contaminants. Applications include aerospace systems, defense hardware, and industrial machinery exposed to extreme conditions.

Integrating your new tech without updating connectors is like watching a movie on a 1080p HDTV with those red, white, and yellow RCA cables. Amphenol Aerospace MIL-DTL-5015 Matrix Connectors are an update from the older MIL-C-5015 solder types for integrating the latest environmental and high-performance needs of current technology in military, power generation, and heavy equipment applications. The Crimp Rear Release series offers protection against environmental extremes with individual contact seals. Additional reliable protection includes insert-to-shell seals, peripheral gasket shell-to-shell seals, redundant rear wire seals, and interfacial seals between contacts. A damage-proof metal retention clip and multiple interlock systems reinforce permanent positive contact retention. Positive control of the dielectric separation provides ease of contact insertion. The medium to heavy weight cylindrical connectors are intermateable with existing MIL-DTL-5015 solder or crimp versions on existing equipment.
