The MS3116R-14-5P is a vertical circular connector belonging to the MIL-DTL-26482 Series I product family. This product features a size 14 housing, 5 male contacts, a metal shell, and a snap-fit connection structure, which can be paired with chain-linked protective covers.

This connector is primarily used to establish detachable electrical interfaces between devices, control modules, and wiring harnesses. The five male pin contacts can be paired with female contact connectors that match the contact arrangement, housing specifications, and positioning structure, enabling centralized connection of multiple routes. The vertical structure is suitable for conventional cable layouts, while the locking mechanism supports insertion and separation according to specified actions.

This connector provides five pin contacts that can be assigned to power, control, measurement, or auxiliary signal circuits according to the equipment wiring diagram. Consolidating multiple circuits into one circular interface helps define circuit relationships and simplifies equipment assembly, wiring inspection, and subsequent maintenance.

When correctly mated and locked with a compatible socket-contact interface, the connector establishes the required electrical paths. During equipment servicing, module replacement, or harness changes, technicians can disconnect the interface according to the prescribed procedure without individually dismantling every circuit.

Product Features

Five-Pin Contact Configuration

The connector features five pin contacts for equipment interfaces requiring multiple electrical connection points. A defined contact arrangement helps engineers prepare pin-assignment tables and map connector contacts to equipment wire identifiers.

Straight Plug Configuration

The straight plug configuration aligns the connector body and cable connection along a conventional axial layout, making it suitable for equipment with adequate rear clearance. During harness design, routing should account for interface orientation, cable bend radius, and mounting locations to avoid excessive bending or pulling at the cable exit.

Bayonet Mechanical Coupling

The bayonet mechanism completes mating through a defined insertion and rotational movement. It is suitable for equipment interfaces that require a consistent connection and disconnection procedure. Align the polarization features correctly and follow the specified locking procedure to avoid damage caused by forced rotation.

Core Performance Advantages

◆ Simplifies Multi-Circuit Interface Planning

A unified five-contact interface brings multiple circuits into one contact-management structure. Engineers can define each contact function using the wiring diagram, allowing purchasing, harness fabrication, equipment assembly, and maintenance teams to work from consistent circuit information and reducing errors caused by inconsistent documentation or labeling.

◆ Promotes Consistent Assembly Procedures

The bayonet coupling provides a defined mechanical procedure for mating, alignment, and locking. When incorporated into standard operating instructions, it helps assembly personnel follow consistent connection steps and include interface checks in production or maintenance workflows.

◆ Improves Protective Accessory Management

The tethered protective cap keeps the cap associated with the connector, reducing the likelihood of misplacement or mix-ups.

Product FAQ

What Are the Functions of the Five Pin Contacts ?

The actual functions depend on the equipment circuit design. Within the applicable ratings, the five contacts may be assigned to power, control, measurement, or auxiliary signal circuits. Individual contact functions cannot be established without the pin-assignment table. Always check the approved wiring diagram before termination.

Can a Compatible Cable Harness Be Customized ?

A compatible cable harness can be evaluated according to project requirements. Provide cable length, conductor specification, opposite-end connector, pin assignments, operating environment, and testing requirements to verify interface compatibility and establish a configuration suitable for volume production.

How Can You Tell Whether the Connector Is Properly Locked ?

Align the polarization features before engaging the bayonet coupling according to the prescribed procedure. After mating, check for abnormal looseness or incomplete engagement.

Why Is Rear Clearance Important When Installing This Connector ?

The MS3116R-14-5P uses a straight connector configuration, so sufficient clearance is required for the connector body, cable exit, and cable bend. Limited space may cause excessive cable bending, additional mechanical stress, or maintenance difficulties.
