MBU Power Cord Male End... Aftermarket power male plug in?????

I need an after market male power end connector for the two pin MBU v3 power cord. I want to build a test rig for MBUs or adapt a MBU heater unit to run independently. I want to use a battery bank or transformer for power. I have a MKT85 field kitchen but may want to add a MBU unit to a BBQ trailer. Any part numbers out there for a connector with or without threaded keeper ring? Thanks Mark

I got the number at home I will try to post them up when I get home tonight. I just use one of the plastic connector from under the MBU in the shop. Those are a lot cheaper and easer to get.

OK they are made by ITT web site www.ittcannon.com .

The part number for an end to plug into the MBU is CA (or) MS 3106 (for a straight plug) or 3108 ( for an 90) E16SF80.

MS3106E16SF80 would get the straight plug. If you look on the web site look for MIL-DTL 5015 selection guide. Each letter and number in the part number means some thing.

Hope this helps. If you google the part number some suppliers pop up. If I remember right $8-$20 each depending on where and the style.

Looks like the MS3106E1611S or P. The 11 is for 2 pin 12ga. The numbers after the 16 is for the pin number and arangment.

Digikey has both MS3106E16-11S (sockets) and MS3106E16-11P (pins) from ITT/Cannon in stock for about $40. The contacts in these have solder cups so you do not need a crimper. If you believe the PDF spec sheets at Digikey, they come with a rubber bushing and cable clamp backshell.
