The MS3116J10-6S is a six-position military-style circular electrical connector within the MIL-DTL-26482 Series I interface family. It features a straight cable plug configuration with six female socket contacts.

The connector uses a size 10 shell with a 10-6 insert arrangement and a bayonet coupling mechanism for mating with a compatible receptacle.Compared with four-position interfaces, its six-contact configuration provides additional circuit allocation options for power, control signals, status feedback, and auxiliary electrical connections.

Its main components include a metal shell, six-contact insulating insert, female socket contacts, bayonet coupling mechanism, solder-cup terminations, and cable-entry components.

The MS3116J10-6S addresses these requirements through four main design considerations:

1. Greater Circuit Integration: Six contact positions provide more connection points than a four-position interface for equipment requiring multiple control and auxiliary circuits.

2. Compact Interface Planning: Its circular configuration consolidates several electrical connections into one connector interface.

3. Detachable Equipment Connections: The bayonet coupling mechanism supports convenient connection and disconnection during servicing and equipment replacement.

4. Flexible Harness Configuration: The six contacts can be allocated according to equipment wiring diagrams, supporting different customized cable assembly designs.

Product Feature

Six-Position Contact Arrangement

The connector uses a 10-6 insert arrangement with six female socket contacts. Compared with four-position connectors, it offers additional independent contact positions for equipment requiring more complex circuit allocation.

Aluminum Alloy Shell

The aluminum alloy shell provides a practical balance between mechanical strength and weight. Its olive-drab cadmium finish is a characteristic appearance of this connector configuration and is suitable for industrial and specialized equipment interfaces.

Three-Point Bayonet Coupling

The three-point bayonet coupling mechanism uses an insertion-and-rotation action to secure the connector. It is suitable for equipment requiring convenient connection and disconnection without multiple turns of threaded coupling.

Product FAQ

Can All Six Contacts of the MS3116J10-6S Be Used for Both Power and Signal Transmission ?

Yes. The six contacts can be assigned to different electrical circuits according to the equipment design, including auxiliary power, control signals, status feedback, and other low-voltage signals. However, contact current ratings, operating voltage, wire gauge, and circuit isolation requirements must be considered to ensure electrical compatibility.

Is the MS3116J10-6S Suitable for Centralized Connections of Multiple Control Signals ?

Yes. Its six-position contact arrangement provides a centralized interface for multiple independent control circuits. It can be used for signal connections between control modules, inspection equipment, and electronic instruments. Proper pin assignment helps reduce wiring complexity caused by multiple separate interfaces.

What Is the Purpose of the Aluminum Alloy Shell on the MS3116J10-6S ?

The aluminum alloy shell provides mechanical support and external protection while balancing connector weight and structural strength. It helps improve the mechanical stability of the interface assembly. Actual shielding performance should be evaluated based on the connector construction, grounding method, and complete cable assembly design.

Can the MS3116J10-6S Be Used in Equipment Exposed to Vibration ?

It can be considered for equipment operating in vibration environments, but suitability depends on vibration levels, connector mounting methods, cable retention measures, and relevant mechanical test results. The bayonet coupling should be fully engaged after installation, and cable weight or continuous pulling forces should not be transferred directly to the connector interface.
