Description

MIL-DTL-26482 Connectors Specification

Versatile Backshell Suffix Options: We offer MS3116E for standard environmental sealing, MS3116F with an integrated cable clamp for strain relief, and MS3116J featuring a heavy-duty rubber bushing to maximize jacketed cable grip.

Comprehensive Gender Configuration: Our inventory fully supports high-conductivity male pin (P) and recessed female socket (S) contact arrangements, allowing engineering teams complete design freedom for power intake or signal distribution links.
Vibration Proof Bayonet Interface: The advanced 3-point bayonet locking system enables rapid coupling with an audible and tactile click, eliminating loose connections in high-vibration aerospace and automated industrial machinery.
Superior Ingress Protection: Utilizing specialized Neoprene internal dielectrics and environmental backshell grommets, our MS3116 series achieves a true mated IP67 rating, effectively sealing out water, oil, industrial lubricants, and fine dust.

Intermateable Cross Brand Standards: Designed to exact military dimensional metrics, Staconnector MS3116 plugs offer a drop-in factory alternative that intermates seamlessly with existing brand-name receptacles from Amphenol, Souriau, and ITT Cannon.

Cross-Reference Guide: MS3116E / F / J (Male Pin & Female Socket)

FAQ

Q1: What is the main structural difference between MS3116E, MS3116F, and MS3116J plugs?
MS3116E provides standard environment-resistant backshell sealing. MS3116F adds an integrated metal cable clamp for hardware strain relief. MS3116J features an advanced compression nut and a flexible rubber gland bushing to tightly grip and seal heavy jacketed cables.

Q2: How should I choose between male pin (P) and female socket (S) options for my straight plugs?
For optimal electrical protection, the standard layout places the female socket (S) on the plug side if the cable assembly carries live incoming currents from the power supply, preventing accidental shorts when unmated.

Q3: Can Staconnector provide custom wire assembly services for all E, F, and J suffixes?
Yes. As a direct factory manufacturer, we provide complete OEM/ODM wire harnessing. We can manufacture pre-wired assemblies using specified cable lengths, high-temperature wire jackets, or custom metal conduit adapters.
