Notes from the standard

  • Types A, B and C: dimensions in inches; unless otherwise specified, tolerances ±.016 and angles ±2°. Threads per MIL-S-7742.
  • The clamp mates with the connector shell size listed (reference). Types A, B and C carry no finish code; type D adds the finish code after the dash number.
  • MS3057-3A to -40A are interchangeable with AN3057-3A to -40A, and MS3057-3B to -40B with AN3057-3B to -40B.
  • Type A bushings are for reference and are not supplied with the clamp. For additional close-down of B: one bushing for MS3057-3A to -12A (MS3420-3 to -12); two for -16A to -24A (MS3057-16A takes one MS3420-16 and one MS3420-12); three for -28A to -40A (MS3057-40A takes one MS3420-40, one MS3420-32 and one MS3420-28).
