The MS3116R-10-6P MIL-DTL-26482 family circular cable connector is designed for equipment requiring multiple electrical circuits within a single interface. Its straight-plug configuration incorporates six male pin contacts and mates with a compatible socket-contact connector having the correct shell size, insert arrangement, and polarization features.
The bayonet coupling supports structured mating and unmating, making equipment assembly, harness removal, and routine servicing more convenient. The metal shell provides mechanical protection for the internal insulating insert and contacts, while the tethered protective cap covers the interface when unused to help limit exposure to dust and foreign particles.
Potential applications include industrial controls, instrumentation, test equipment, and other systems requiring detachable electrical interfaces.

Product Features
- Six-Pin Contact Configuration
Six male pin contacts provide multiple independent electrical connection positions, allowing power, control, or auxiliary signal circuits to be assigned according to the equipment design.
- Straight Circular Interface
The straight configuration supports conventional axial mating and cable routing, making it suitable for cable-end connections. Adequate clearance must be provided for mating, unmating, and rear cable bending.
- Metal Shell Construction
The metal shell supports and protects the internal connector components while maintaining structural integrity during equipment assembly.
Product Type and Selection Considerations
◆ Plug Versus Receptacle
MS3116 belongs to the straight cable-plug category and is primarily used at the harness end. Distinguish cable plugs from panel-mounted receptacles and ensure that the equipment-side interface is compatible.
◆ Pin Versus Socket Contacts
The suffix P generally indicates a pin-contact configuration. It mates with a corresponding socket-contact interface, but contact gender is only one selection criterion; insert arrangement, shell size, and polarization must also match.
◆ Differences Between Replacement Models
Connectors within the 26482 family are not automatically interchangeable. Even when shell size and contact count match, verify insert arrangement, polarization, termination style, rear construction, and environmental performance.
Product FAQ
How Can Excessive Cable Strain Be Avoided During Harness Assembly ?
Route the cable carefully during assembly to prevent continuous pulling, twisting, or excessive bending at the connector rear. Position harness supports according to the equipment layout and maintain the cable manufacturer's specified bend radius. If a dedicated clamp or strain-relief component is required, verify compatibility with the exact connector configuration.
Why Should the Equipment-Side Interface Be Inspected Before Installation ?
The equipment-side connector's shell size, contact arrangement, polarization features, and mechanical condition affect mating performance.
Can the Existing Connector Be Reused When Replacing a Cable Harness ?
Reuse depends on the connector's condition and the project's maintenance requirements. Inspect the contacts for deformation or corrosion, the shell for damage, the bayonet mechanism for proper operation, and the termination area for looseness. If the connector passes inspection and meets the manufacturer's reuse criteria, continued use may be considered; otherwise, follow the applicable repair procedure.
Does Premier Cable Offer Wholesale and OEM Services ?
Premier Cable can evaluate connector integration, custom cable assemblies, OEM manufacturing, and volume procurement according to project requirements.
