MS3116F-10-6P/PT06E106PSR 6 Pin Military Circular Connector

MS3116F-10-6P 6-Pin Military Circular Connector Overview

The MS3116F-10-6P is a 6-pin military circular connector engineered for reliable electrical connections in demanding environments where durability, secure mating, and stable performance are critical. Built to the MIL-DTL-26482 Series I standard, this connector delivers a rugged solution for aerospace, defense, industrial, and high-reliability electronic systems.

Its compact circular body houses a 6-pin contact arrangement that supports efficient power and signal transmission while maintaining strong mechanical integrity. The bayonet coupling design enables rapid mating and secure locking, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection from vibration or movement.

The connector features a durable shell that withstands mechanical stress, environmental exposure, and repeated connection cycles, making it suitable for space-limited and mission-critical installations.

Key Selection Criteria for the MS3116F-10-6P

When evaluating this connector for your system, consider the following decision points:

• Mating interface: Confirm your cable-side plug or receptacle matches the MS3116F-10-6P shell size and bayonet coupling style.
• Contact arrangement: Verify the 6-pin layout and pin assignments against your wiring schematic before ordering.
• Environmental exposure: Assess vibration levels, temperature range, and moisture ingress to confirm the connector's rugged housing meets your installation demands.
• Installation space: Measure the available panel or cable entry area to ensure the compact circular profile fits without interference.
• Customization needs: Determine whether you require pre-terminated cable assemblies, alternate contact plating, or accessory kits for your specific application.

Applications and System Fit

This connector is suited for systems that demand dependable connectivity in confined spaces. Typical uses include:

• Aerospace equipment and avionics
• Defense electronics and field communication gear
• UAV and drone power/signal distribution
• Radar and communication systems
• Industrial control and automation panels
• Test and measurement instruments

Structural and Reliability Considerations

The MS3116F-10-6P uses a bayonet locking mechanism that provides fast, positive engagement and prevents loosening under continuous vibration. The circular shell is designed to resist mechanical impact and environmental stress, supporting stable electrical performance over repeated mating cycles. For applications requiring additional protection, confirm the specific IP rating and temperature limits with your technical representative, as these values depend on the final assembly and mating connector configuration.
