[time-nuts] AC cord or connector for 5061A

[Bill Hawkins]

Military Standard (the MS in MS3106) connectors all have the same
basic part number no matter who makes them. Vendors may apply
prefix initials.

MS connectors appear to be obsolete, replaced by the MIL-C- series.

3106A defines the connector shell style - cable connector in this case.
18 defines the shell size, and 22S defines the layout of pins in the
connector, which defines the number and size of the pins. Some layouts
have large pins for power and small or coaxial pins for signals.

Don't know about the W in SW, maybe waterproof. The W doesn't appear
in Tom's photo. Think S stands for sockets and P for pins.

Previous postings have given several sources for MS connectors.

I got some from Digi-key a year or so ago.  Unfortunately, I don't 
recall the DK part number, but I recall I had to do a cross-reference 
from the Cannon part number to another manufacturer (I think AMP) and 
that's what DK had.
