Circular Connectors CA/MS A&B
annon has re-introduced the widely
used MS A&B product line with
improved features. For corrosion
protection we have changed the shell finish to
an environmentally safe, zinc alloy plating.
The plating is a high quality finish and
uniform in color. The contacts, which are
preloaded in the insulator, have been
redesigned such that the solder cups remain
in proper orientation and will not rotate
during wiring termination. The contacts are
also machined for strength and durability and
plated with silver. The Cannon MS A&B
design meets the performance requirements
of the MIL-C-5015. The product is available in
all the popular sizes and configurations in
Class A (solid end bell) and Class B (split end
bell versions).

Accessories
Cable clamps are available in both the
environmentally safe green zinc and black
zinc, and will accommodate shell sizes
10SL-36. Double clamping action provides a
balanced, positive hold on the wires and
greatly reduces moisture transmission, a
real benefit in applications that require
environmental sealing. This clamp is
provided with the bushing.

Assembly Instructions
Step 3: Confirm insulator is fixed inside shell by
applying slight force on the engaging side of
the insulator. If properly installed, the insulator
can not be pushed out the rear of the shell. If
the insulator is displaced with this test, please
repeat steps 1 and 2.
Step 4: Complete assembly by adding coupling
nut and endbell. Please note that the coupling
nut is used on the plug side only.
*Note: During installation, ensure that all contacts remain fixed. If
during this process the contacts rotate out of position, separate
the 2 piece insulator and adjust accordingly.
Alternate Insert Positions
Step 2: After insulator is seated in shell, install
the snap ring on the rear of the connector.
Slightly compress ring and insert into recessed
area just above the insulator. If not completely
in place, manipulate the snap ring with finger
until visual or audible seating confirmation is
made. No tooling is required.
Step 1*: Remove tape from insulator. With the
insulator and shell positioned as shown above,
polarize insulator to desired position and place
inside shell using the internal keyway as
guide. Once inside the shell, the insulator
cannot rotate. However, until the snap ring is
applied in step 2, the insulator is not
captivated in the shell.
Unassembled connectors are supplied in kits,
an insulator kit and hardware kit. The insulator
kit includes a snap ring and insulator with
preloaded contacts. The hardware kit includes
the shell along with appropriate endbell
(except box mount receptacles) and coupling
nut (plug only).
