Wall mount receptacle, box re- Connectors with MS designation conform to ceptacle, cable connector and straight plug have MIL-C-5015 in respect of dimensions and con- the same coupling dimensions. This allows tact arrangements. mating of the different classes of these connec- tors. Deviations from this specification, e. g. crimp contacts, other shell or contact finishes, are The connectors of class E, F and R are designed designated CA. to operate in extreme environmental conditions. These connectors are completely sealed to withstand moisture, condensation, vibration and flash-over. MS-F and MS-R connectors have a resilient grommet around each wire. This allows the wires to slide through the grommet with a minimum of friction. Yet when the ferrule is sealed and the endbells are tightened, it provides perfect wire seal through a wide variety of wire diameters. This seal at the rear plus the interfacial seal at the front, effect a completely environmen- tal resistant assembly when the plug is mated to an F or R receptacle.
