How to Order Backshells for Mil-DTL-5015 (MS3100 Series) Connectors

The threads and interface dimensions on MIL-DTL-5015 solder-type connectors are unfortunetly not standardized
from one manufacturer to the next. As a result, there is limited interchangeability in many shell sizes and service
classes amongst available MS3100 Series products. When ordering backshells for 5015 connectors it is therefore
necessary to treat each connector manufacturer's product seperately to ensure optimum compatibility of the
backshell-to-connector interface. This is accomplished in two steps: (1) Use the connector designator "B" in the
normal place in the part number to indicate to the factory that a MIL-DTL-5015 (MS3100 Series ) connector is being
used; and (2) Use an additional connector manufacturer symbol, as shown in the part number development
example below, to indicate whose MIL-DTL-5015 product you are using. Connector manufacturer symbols for 5015
products are shown in the table below and pertinent connector fitting interface information is given on page 19.
Please Note: For proper use of Glenair backshells with MS3100 Series connectors, discard all rear hardware,
including wire seal grommets, normally supplied with the connector. (This information does not apply to endbell
extenders commonly supplied with MS3100A Series connectors.)
