The MS3116R-10-7P is a multi-core electrical connector featuring a circular metal housing. The front end of the product is equipped with 7 male contacts, which are positioned and isolated internally by insulating components. Externally, it has a metal connection ring with anti-slip texture and can be paired with protective caps connected by a metal chain.

This product belongs to the category of MS3116 straight cable plugs. The MS3116 is typically used in conjunction with compatible sockets from the MIL-DTL-26482 Series I series, and is suitable for equipment requiring centralized arrangement of multiple electrical connection points.

The primary function of this MIL-DTL-26482 7-pin circular plug is to provide a detachable, multi-circuit electrical interface between equipment and cable harnesses. Its seven male pin contacts can be assigned to control signals, status feedback, auxiliary power, or other electrical circuits according to the equipment wiring diagram.

When correctly mated with a compatible socket-contact connector and properly secured, the contacts establish the corresponding electrical paths. During equipment servicing, harness replacement, or module removal, the connector can be disconnected according to the specified procedure, avoiding the inconvenience of permanent wiring.

Why Is This Product Needed ?

Industrial equipment, control systems, and electromechanical assemblies often require multiple electrical circuits to be connected and disconnected between equipment and cable harnesses. Using separate individual connections can increase installation steps, wiring complexity, and maintenance effort.

A multi-contact circular connector consolidates these connection points into a common interface, helping organize wiring and supporting modular equipment design, harness replacement, and servicing. Its metal shell, polarization features, and bayonet coupling mechanism provide mechanical support and mating alignment.

The rear protective cap is attached to the connector by a metal chain. When the plug is disconnected or not in use, the cap can cover the interface and help reduce direct exposure to dust, foreign objects, and accidental impact.

Product FAQ

What Does "7P" Mean in MS3116R-10-7P ?

7P indicates a seven-contact arrangement with male pin contacts.

How Can Compatibility with an Existing Equipment Interface Be Confirmed ?

Compare the mating connector's complete part number, shell size, insert arrangement, polarization, contact type, and mechanical dimensions. Request the manufacturer's drawings before purchasing, then verify compatibility through sample mating and electrical testing.

How Is the Cable Installed at the Rear of the Connector ?

The installation method depends on the rear construction and contact termination type. Confirm the termination method, compatible conductor sizes, and required tools, then follow the manufacturer's procedures for wiring, securing, and inspection.

What Is the Practical Purpose of the Retaining-Chain Protective Cap ?

The protective cap covers the interface when the connector is not in use, reducing direct exposure to dust, foreign objects, and accidental impact. The retaining chain keeps the cap attached to the connector for convenient removal and replacement.
