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

Premier Cable developed the MS3116J12-8P to address equipment requirements for consolidated multi-circuit connections, detachable interfaces, and customized cable harness configurations. In industrial automation, military electronics, mobile control equipment, and specialized inspection systems, multiple electrical modules often need to communicate or exchange power through multi-conductor wiring assemblies. An eight-contact circular interface helps organize these connections.This product provides eight individual electrical connection positions and supports customization involving different cable lengths, wire specifications, and opposite-end connectors.

Compared with connectors intended for applications involving only a few electrical circuits, the MS3116J12-8P integrates eight connection positions into one circular interface. It is suitable for equipment that needs to organize control signals, status feedback, auxiliary power, and other independent electrical circuits.

The product uses a Class J cable clamp configuration. Its associated construction is intended for clamping multi-jacketed cables, moisture-proofing applications, and strain relief. Selecting a compatible cable construction and outside diameter, followed by correct assembly, helps reduce connection risks caused by pulling forces, cable bending, and improper installation.

Core Design Advantages

Multi-Function Circuit Allocation

Eight independent electrical positions provide additional allocation options for different functional circuits. Engineers can assign individual positions according to system schematics, offering greater flexibility in electrical configuration.

Adaptability to Complex Electrical Architectures

Suitable for equipment incorporating multiple control units, auxiliary functions, and feedback circuits. It supports electrical interconnection arrangements that correspond to the functional architecture of the equipment.

Organized Circuit Grouping

Different circuits can be grouped according to their functions, such as control, feedback, and auxiliary circuits. This helps create a clearer electrical organization within the equipment.

Product FAQ

Can an eight-position connector carry both power and signals ?

Different positions can be assigned to power, control signals, and auxiliary circuits when permitted by the electrical design. Electrical isolation, signal interference, loading, and grounding requirements should be evaluated to ensure system suitability.

How can wiring mistakes be prevented when designing an eight-position connector system ?

A consistent circuit identification system should be established, with each connector position assigned a documented function. Continuity testing and circuit mapping verification during production help confirm that both harness ends match the engineering drawings.

Can the MS3116J12-8P be used in equipment carrying sensitive signals ?

For sensitive analog signals, measurement circuits, and other low-level signals, crosstalk, grounding, shielding, and wiring layout should be evaluated. The connector itself does not replace overall system EMC design.

Can small-batch samples of the MS3116J12-8P be developed ?

Sample development can be evaluated according to project requirements. Customers should provide the connector model, cable specifications, harness length, opposite-end interface, and circuit mapping diagram to confirm the sample configuration and testing requirements.
