The MS3116R-8-4P is a circular electrical connector from the American standard 26482 series, belonging to the MS3116 vertical plug structure. The connector features an olive-green metal housing, with four male contacts at the front end and a bayonet-style mechanical connection structure. It includes protective caps with chains for interface protection when not in use.

This product is primarily used to establish detachable electrical connections between devices and cables. Compared to direct fixed wiring, plug-and-play interfaces facilitate equipment assembly, line maintenance, and harness replacement, making it suitable for applications requiring centralized arrangement of multiple electrical connections.

The MS3116R-8-4P is a MIL-DTL-26482 Series I circular electrical connector designed to establish reliable, detachable connections between equipment and cable assemblies. Its four male pin contacts mate with compatible female socket contacts to support multiple electrical circuits, which may be assigned to power, control, or auxiliary signals according to the system design.

The bayonet coupling mechanism enables convenient connection and disconnection, simplifying installation, maintenance, and cable replacement. The tethered protective cap helps keep dust and foreign particles away from the interface when it is not in use.

Core Performance Advantages

Reduced Contamination Risk During Storage

The protective cap covers the interface when it is disconnected, helping reduce the risk of dust and foreign particles entering the contact area. The tether helps prevent cap loss and keeps the accessory available for subsequent equipment connection.

Supports Repeated Mating and Modular Design

The bayonet coupling allows connection and disconnection through a defined operation, supporting modular equipment designs.

More Efficient Multi-Circuit Management

Integrating four contacts into one circular interface consolidates multiple electrical connections and can reduce wiring complexity. Contact assignments should be planned carefully and documented in a clear wiring diagram during equipment design.

Typical Applications

◆ Industrial Automation and Control Systems

Suitable for multi-contact electrical connections in industrial control cabinets, automation equipment, and electromechanical control modules.

◆ Communications and Professional Electronics

Suitable for communications equipment, electronic control modules, and specialized electronic systems where interface compatibility has been verified.

◆ Industrial Machinery and Replaceable Harnesses

Can be used for control circuits, equipment interfaces, and replacement harnesses in industrial machinery.

Product FAQ

Why choose a circular plug connector instead of direct wiring ?

A circular plug connector provides a standardized, detachable interface that simplifies equipment assembly, circuit servicing, module removal, and harness replacement. This approach helps reduce repetitive wiring work in equipment requiring periodic maintenance or modular connections.

Why Does the MS3116R-8-4P Use a Four-Contact Design ?

The four-contact design integrates four independent electrical connection positions into one circular connector, helping reduce wiring complexity associated with multiple separate interfaces.

Is the MS3116R-8-4P Suitable for Equipment Requiring Frequent Mating and Unmating ?

The bayonet coupling facilitates repeated mating and unmating, making the connector suitable for equipment requiring maintenance or harness replacement.

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.
