The MS3116J12-10P is a newly developed 10-position military-style circular electrical connector from Premier Cable. It belongs to the MIL-DTL-26482 Series I product family and features a size 12 shell with a 12-10 insert arrangement. Its internal configuration consists of ten size 20 male pin contacts, making it suitable for specialized equipment and cable harness systems requiring multiple electrical connection paths.

The connector features a straight cable plug configuration, bayonet coupling, and solder cup contact termination. Its ten contact positions can be independently assigned according to equipment electrical schematics, allowing individual conductors to be soldered to designated contacts and providing a clearly defined interface for multi-conductor cable assemblies.

Premier Cable developed this product to address specialized equipment requirements for multi-circuit interconnection, detachable electrical interfaces, and customized cable harness assemblies. By organizing ten circuits through one interface, engineers can establish clearer connection relationships and reduce the design work associated with multiple separately installed connectors.

The Class J configuration incorporates cable-entry sealing and clamping features designed for use with compatible cable specifications. Proper cable diameter selection and correct assembly help improve the sealing condition at the cable entry and reduce the effects of external pulling and bending forces on the internal connection area.

In military electronics, industrial control systems, and professional testing equipment, multiple electrical modules often need to connect control signals, status feedback, auxiliary power, and other independent circuits simultaneously. Using multiple connector types can increase interface quantity and complicate harness routing, assembly management, and subsequent maintenance.

The MS3116J12-10P brings ten individual contact positions into one circular interface, providing a defined configuration for equipment requiring multiple electrical connection paths. Compared with three-, four-, or six-contact connectors, its ten-contact arrangement offers more connection positions within the same shell size family.

Product FAQ

What does 12-10 mean in MS3116J12-10P ?

12-10 is the insert arrangement designation. The number 12 identifies the corresponding shell size designation, while 10 indicates the arrangement contains 10 electrical positions.

Is the MS3116J12-10P suitable for multiple power circuits operating simultaneously ?

Multiple power circuits may be considered according to the electrical design. However, the rated current, voltage, wire specifications, isolation requirements, and simultaneous loading conditions must be verified. The number of positions alone does not determine power-handling capability.

Is the MS3116J12-10P suitable for low-level signal transmission ?

Suitability depends on signal type, frequency, and the system's electromagnetic environment. For low-level measurement and sensitive control signals, circuit coupling, grounding, and shielding should be evaluated, with signal integrity verification performed where necessary.

Does Premier Cable support custom MS3116J12-10P harnesses based on equipment wiring diagrams ?

Yes. Customized development can be evaluated according to project requirements. Customers can provide equipment schematics, circuit mapping tables, cable specifications, lengths, and opposite-end interface information for engineering assessment.
