Amphenol Heavy Duty
Cylindrical Connectors
MIL-C-22992/Proprietary
• High Current Capacity
• Rugged Construction
• Safety
• Serviceability
Amphenol meets the demands for heavy duty connectors by
providing three cylindrical connector series, each with unique
design characteristics for reliable operation in specific industrial environments.
Class “L” – for the heaviest electrical loads (Pages 2 – 19)
• Current range from 40 to 200 amperes
• Direct current or single/three phase, 60/400 Hertz alternating current
• Automatic grounding for safety
• MIL-C-22992 qualification
QWLD – for most power and control circuits (Pages 21 – 77)
• Military (MIL-C-22992) qualified connectors and industrial
equivalents available
• Increased shell size for greater durability than similar standard connectors
QWL – a more compact heavy duty design for industrial power and control applications
(Page 78, references Amphenol Catalog 12-053)
These three series share the following common characteristics which are critical to reliable heavy
duty connectors:
• Resistance to the operating environment. Refer to environmental data, below.
• Double stub coupling threads for faster connections; no cross threading, easy cleaning.
• Left hand accessory threads to minimize cable twisting, wire breakage, accidental connector
disassembly.
• Gaskets or O-rings at appropriate surfaces for perfect weathertight connections.
Amphenol® heavy duty connectors have been exposed to the following environmental conditions,
without compromise of mechanical integrity or degradation of electrical performance.

Amphenol Heavy Duty
Cylindrical Connectors
MIL-C-22992, Class L
The Amphenol® Class L* heavy
duty connectors are the largest
size cylindricals, highly suitable for
industrial or military applications,
and designed to meet the demands
of heavy power interconnections.
The design features of this connector series provide:
wall mount receptacle (power source)
• Greatest Capacity current ranges 40 to 200 amps,
conductor sizes 6 to 4/0
• Safety complete protection of personnel
and equipment if connectors are
inadvertently disconnected under
load
• Foolproof Mating design incorporates specific voltage, current, frequency, phase and
grounding requirements
straight plug
• Standardization MIL-C-22992 Class L insert
arrangements specify connector/
cable combinations for maximum
reliability
• Serviceable Contacts contacts are normally crimped to
the cable before connector assembly. No insertion tools required.
Bushings are available to adapt
smaller diameter wires to larger
contacts
cable connecting receptacle without
coupling ring
wall mount plug with
coupling ring (equipment end)

* Amphenol design is covered by one or more of the
following U. S. Patent Numbers:
3,023,396; 3,221,292.

Amphenol Heavy Duty
Cylindrical Connectors
MIL-C-22992, Class L
Other outstanding design features:
Class L connectors are available only in the specific configurations prescribed by MIL-C-22992 for either military
or industrial applications. This rigid configuration control
assures correct interconnection of electrical circuits for
maximum safety and reliability. Controlled parameters
include:
Arc quenching design - recessed socket contacts within
the insert create an arc suppressing chamber which protects the user when connectors are separated under
load.
Programmed coupling sequence - grounding and neutral contacts engage before power contacts.
Connector shell style and contact type - wall mount
and cable connecting receptacles are supplied with
socket contacts only and always lead from the power
source. Plugs (with coupling rings) have pin contacts only
and always lead to the equipment end.
Waterproof design - a unique combination of grommets
and seals provides waterproofing in any condition mated or unmated, capped or uncapped.
Rugged construction - machined from high strength
aluminum. Straight-line attachment of accessories eliminates possibility of cable twisting or misalignment.
Shell size - the direct relationship of shell size to current
carrying capability reduces the possibility of inadequate
wiring for heavy electrical loads.†

Keyway position - four positions of the main keyway are
used to discriminate between the following power
sources:
two wire D.C
two wire single phase A.C.
three wire single phase A.C.
four wire three phase A.C.
Insert rotation - when carrying alternating current (A.C),
different angular rotations of the insert within the connector shell are used to distinguish between 60 Hertz and
400 Hertz circuits.
† MIL-C-22992 includes shell size 48, rated at 150 amperes. Consult your local
Amphenol sales representative or Amphenol, Sidney, NY for availability.

alternate insert rotations
To avoid cross-plugging problems in applications requiring
the use of more than one connector of the same size and
arrangement, alternate insert rotations are available as
indicated in the accompanying chart.
As shown in the diagram below, the front face of the pin
insert is rotated within the shell in a clockwise direction
from the normal shell key. The socket insert would be
rotated counterclockwise the same number of degrees in
respect to the normal shell key.

Note
Some insert arrangements require that two or more ground wires be terminated into one contact. Dimension D must therefore be increased to permit
routing these wires around the larger conductors.
Step 3) Install connector components in the order shown in the applicable assembly view illustrated on pages17 and 18.
Step 4) Strip insulation of individual conductors to 3/4 inch from end of conductor.

Contact Installation
Connector Assembly
Step 1) Insert stripped conductors in contact wirewells.
If contact bushing is used, insert conductor in bushing
and bushing in contact wirewell. If two or more ground
wires are inserted into a single contact, make sure all
wires are fully seated in wirewell.
Step 1) If inserts are not already positioned in the connector shell, align large tab on insert with large slot in
shell and push insert in until it bottoms in shell.
Step 2) Apply a thin coating of Dow Corning DC-4 lubricant to the periphery of contact holes in spacer or grommet assembly. Push contacts into rear of spacer or
grommet assembly until locked into contact retainer
bushing.
Step 2) Select correct crimping tool, locater and die
combination from the table for contacts to be installed.
With conductor or contact bushing in place, insert contact
into tool. Close crimping die fully to form a uniform crimp.

Step 3) Align contacts with proper holes in insert. Small
key of insert must be aligned with appropriate keyway in
spacer or grommet assembly. Slide contacts into insert
holes until spacer or grommet assembly butts against
insert. A thin film of Dow Corning DC-4 lubricant applied
to the periphery of insert contact holes will provide maximum sealing efficiency.
Step 4) Assemble accessories to connector. The back
adapter “O” ring should have a very thin film of Dow
Corning DC-4 lubricant applied. Outer surfaces only of
gland should be lubricated with a thin film of UniTemp
Grease EP. Avoid getting grease on inside surfaces of
gland and on cable jacket.
Step 5) Tighten retaining nut or gland nut on shell or
adapter. A metal-to-metal seating condition is desireable,
but may not be attainable with maximum cable diameters.

Step 1) Loosen all rear accessories and slide back along
cable.
If crimping tools are available, contacts may be affixed to
conductors by soldering. Use rosin-alcohol solder flux, a
good grade of 60/40 solder and a 500 watt soldering iron
or probe type resistance soldering equipment. Pre-tin
conductors before soldering. Solder must not be present
on shoulder or retention area of contact.
Step 2) Remove spacer or grommet assembly with contacts from connector insert.
Step 3) Using the appropriate size contact removal tool,
push tool over front of contact until it bottoms in spacer or
grommet assembly hole. This will open contact retaining
bushing and allow contact to be removed from the spacer
or grommet assembly from the rear. When using jacketed
cable, all contacts should be released from contact retention bushings before removal from spacer or grommet
assembly is accomplished.
