The MS3116R-14-5S is a vertical circular plug connector belonging to the MIL-DTL-26482 Series I product family. This product features a size 14 housing, a 14-5 contact arrangement, and 5 female contacts. Externally, it has an olive-green metal housing, knurled operating areas, and a snap-fit connection structure.

Compared to the male-pin version, the interface of the MS3116R-14-5S adopts a female contact design, compatible with male-pin connectors that match the corresponding mechanical structure and pin arrangement. The vertical layout at the rear of the product is suitable for standard wire harness connections, while the chain-style protective cover provides physical shielding when the interface is not in use and facilitates maintenance personnel in managing protective accessories.

This five-socket connector provides a detachable multi-circuit interface between equipment, external cable harnesses, and other electrical components. Its five contacts can be assigned to power, control, measurement, or auxiliary signal circuits according to the circuit design and pin-assignment requirements.

When correctly aligned, mated, and locked with a compatible pin-contact connector, the contacts establish the intended electrical paths. The interface can also be disconnected according to the prescribed procedure during equipment servicing, module replacement, or harness maintenance, helping simplify assembly and repair operations.

Typical Applications

Industrial Control Systems

The connector can be evaluated for multi-circuit interfaces in industrial control units, automated equipment, and control-cabinet harnesses. Its five contacts can be assigned according to the system design, making it a candidate for projects requiring defined circuit relationships, detachable interfaces, and structured maintenance procedures.

Instrumentation and Test Equipment

In instrumentation and test equipment, this connector may be used for control circuits, auxiliary signal lines, or other electrically validated circuits. A consistent pin-assignment scheme helps engineers document circuit relationships, inspect wiring, and replace connection components.

Specialized Electronic Equipment

The connector may be considered for specialized electronic equipment, control modules, and auxiliary electronic systems after interface compatibility is verified. Its circular format consolidates multiple circuits, while the bayonet mechanism supports standardized mating and unmating.

Core Performance Advantages

◆ Centralized Multi-Circuit Management

Consolidating five electrical connection positions into one interface reduces the wiring-management complexity associated with separate connections. Combined with pin-assignment tables and wire identification, it helps purchasing, assembly, and maintenance teams work from consistent circuit definitions.

◆ Facilitates Component Replacement

The detachable connector creates a defined interface between the harness and equipment module. When servicing or replacement is required, the connector can be separated according to the prescribed procedure, reducing the need to disconnect individual wires.

◆ Supports Standardized Assembly

A defined connector model, contact arrangement, and bayonet operating procedure help establish standardized work instructions. Production personnel can follow a consistent process for interface identification, mating, and inspection, reducing assembly variation between operators.

Product FAQ

Is This Model Suitable for Power Circuits ?

Suitability depends on the actual load, current and voltage requirements, contact specifications, conductor size, and operating conditions. Consult the applicable datasheet before determining whether it is suitable for a particular power circuit.

Can the Five Contacts Carry Different Signals ?

Different electrical functions can be assigned to the five contacts according to the circuit design, subject to applicable ratings and insulation requirements. Use an approved pin-assignment table to confirm circuit mapping.

How Can the Risk of Poor Contact After Installation Be Reduced ?

Ensure that contacts are clean, alignment is correct, mating is complete, and the coupling is properly locked. Also inspect termination quality and cable retention. After installation, perform continuity and other required electrical checks according to the project specification.

Does Premier Cable Offer Wholesale and OEM Services ?
