Product Description
Need to run 5-wire power or control connections between two equipment panels? The MS3106A-14S-5P to MS3106A-14S-5S cable assembly links two MIL-DTL-5015 panel receptacles (MS3100 / MS3102 type with the 14S-5 insert) using a pre-wired, pre-tested cable - no field soldering required.
Unlike the 2-contact 14S-9 version used mainly for simple signal pairs, the 14S-5 insert arrangement provides 5 × size 16 contacts rated at 13 A each, making this assembly a popular choice for three-phase power with ground, motor connections, sensor power feeds and multi-wire control circuits.
Each end carries an MS3106A straight plug: the "A" suffix denotes a solid one-piece aluminum shell, and the P / S suffixes denote pin and socket contacts respectively. The threaded coupling with single key/keyway polarization prevents mis-mating and holds tight under vibration, which is why the MIL-5015 series remains a standard interface across military ground equipment, rail systems and heavy industry.
Wiring and Cable Construction
Premier Cable builds this assembly to order rather than stocking a fixed configuration. You choose:
- Cable length - from short 0.3 m jumpers to long field-wiring runs per your drawing
- Conductor gauge - typically 20 to 16 AWG for size 16 contacts, selected to match your current load
- Wiring pattern - straight pin-to-pin (A-A, B-B, C-C, D-D, E-E) as standard, or crossed per your pinout
- Cable type - unshielded multi-core for power, or overall-braid shielded cable where EMI protection is required
- Finish options - heat-shrink strain relief, labels, sleeve marking or overmolding
Every assembly passes 100% continuity, open, short and miswire testing before shipment.

- Test benches and equipment interconnection
FAQ
Q: How much current can this 5-pin cable assembly carry?
A: Each size 16 contact is rated at 13 A. The practical rating also depends on the conductor gauge and cable construction selected, so tell us your load when requesting a quote.
Q: What does the "A" in MS3106A stand for?
A: It indicates the shell class - a solid one-piece aluminum shell, the standard general-purpose version. Other classes include "E" and "F" for environment-resisting designs, which we can also supply.
Q: Can one end be a 90° angle plug or a receptacle instead?
A: Yes. We can build MS3108 (90° angle plug), MS3100 / MS3102 (receptacle) or single-ended pigtail versions with the same 14S-5 insert.
How to Order
Send us the required cable length, wire gauge or current load, shielding requirement and quantity - or simply attach your drawing or a photo of the existing cable. Small-batch and prototype orders are welcome.
