Amphenol 97-3106A-22-5P Pin Plug with 97-3101A-22-5S Socket Receptacle, Matched 6-Contact Shell Size 22 Pair
Condition
Brand-new, unused matched connector and receptacle. Both items are free from wear or previous use. In the photos the olive drab shells are clean, the plug's knurled coupling ring carries no part number stamping, and both blue inserts are stamped 22-5 and AMPHENOL with the contact positions lettered A through F. The rear views show every solder cup bright and empty, with no solder, no wire and no cut-off strands in any of the twelve cups. The two pieces ship together as the matched pair shown, with no cable clamp or backshell accessories.

Product Overview
The 97-3106A-22-5P is a straight cable plug carrying six male pins with solder cup termination, and the 97-3101A-22-5S is the cable mount receptacle carrying the matching six sockets, so this listing hands you both halves of the joint instead of the usual hunt for a mate. Both use shell size 22 with the 22-5 insert arrangement stamped right on the blue inserts in the photos, which places two larger contacts and four smaller ones in each face and lines up with the 13A and 23A current handling this pair is listed at. Voltage handling is listed at up to 900VAC and 1.25kVDC. Each shell threads at the rear for a standard cable clamp or bushing, and the front of the receptacle carries the coupling threads that mate with the plug's coupling ring. Against the millimeter rule in the photos each body runs roughly 55 to 60 mm long, with the plug coupling nut approximately 48 mm across the knurl. Buyers of this family commonly search the MS3106A-22-5P and MS3101A-22-5S numbering alongside the Amphenol 97 series numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these two pieces mate with each other?
They are sold as a matched pair: the same shell size 22, the same 22-5 insert arrangement stamped on both inserts, six pins on one side and six sockets on the other. The plug coupling ring threads onto the receptacle. Confirm the keyway class letter you need against the Amphenol datasheet before you commit them to a keyed system.
How do the wires attach?
Solder cups on both halves, twelve of them, shown bright and empty in the rear photos. No crimp tool and no contact removal tool required. The wire gauge each contact size accepts is not confirmed here - verify against the datasheet before you strip anything.
Is a cable clamp, bushing or backshell included?
No. Both shells thread at the rear to accept a standard accessory, but nothing beyond the plug and the receptacle is in this listing. The photos show exactly what ships.
Are these the same as MS3106A-22-5P and MS3101A-22-5S?
The Amphenol 97 series is the numbering you will find printed in the catalogs for this threaded circular family, and buyers routinely search the MS numbers next to it. We have not verified an official cross-reference for this pair, so treat the MS number as a search term, not a substitution promise, and check the datasheet before you order a mating part from somewhere else.
Why buy this photographed pair instead of chasing a surplus lot or an auction pallet?
Circular connectors move through auctions by the crate, and a crate gives you whatever shell sizes and insert arrangements happen to be in it. A plug with no matching receptacle is scrap for the job in front of you. Here the two halves are already matched, photographed from five angles with the insert stamps and the empty solder cups on view before you spend a dollar, and there are only two of these sets on the shelf. This one clears our free shipping line on its own, and orders leave the Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Twelve bright solder cups and not one conductor between them yet, a plug and its receptacle that never got wired. Bring the six wires and this pair finally gets the connection it was machined for.
