    three prong female cannon plug for an MRE heater

    The MS p/n as shown above - MS3106F-16-10S - would come in OD Cad Green. The picture on Digikey's website appears Black... the newer nomenclature on the part should read 'JAN MS3106F-16-10S' - the US added the JAN prefix in an attempt to stop the offshore clones - Tanner

    three prong female cannon plug for an MRE heater

    Bjorn - Be aware that the Amphenol Series 97 connectors are the bottom-feeder, entry-level connector. They are not environmentally sealed against water or dirt & cannot be submerged. However, they are EMI/RFI shielded... go figure! Tanner

    three prong female cannon plug for an MRE heater
