Hi All, 

TMC multicoupler has arrived and now I need to make a power plug for it.

The power receptacle on the unit has the following designation:
MS3102A14S-7P   (connector has 3 pins)

I looked this up in amphenol to see if I can figure out the proper
mating connector. Can anyone confirm that what I want is either the:

MS3101A14S-7S(F?)
Or the
MS3106A14S-7S(F?)

According to page 71 of:
http://www.amphenol-aerospace.com/catalogs/12-020/lo/12-020.pdf 
I wasn't sure about the 3106 (straight plug) vs 3101 (cable connecting
plug) I couldn't understand the difference.  Also do I need the F as the
last letter? My understanding is that is for strain relief? 

My interest in asking this question is to avoid buying the wrong
connector. These things sure are complicated!

Thanks very much!
