MIL-DTL-38999 MS27467 Circular Connectors

MS27468E13B35PB MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Connector Overview

The MS27468E13B35PB is a 22-pin MIL-DTL-38999 Series III circular connector engineered for demanding marine and shipboard environments. This connector provides reliable electrical performance under extreme conditions, making it suitable for navigation systems, communication equipment, and control panels on ships and vessels.

Construction and Material Selection

Built with a robust aluminum alloy shell, this connector resists corrosion from saltwater and marine humidity, ensuring long-term durability. The PTFE insulator supports stable signal and low-current power transmission across a temperature range of -55°C to +200°C. Contacts are brass plated with gold for reliable conductivity.

Coupling and Environmental Protection

Equipped with a quick-lock bayonet coupling, the MS27468E13B35PB allows fast, secure installation while preventing loosening due to vibration or shock. The IP67 waterproof rating ensures reliable operation in wet or exposed marine environments. The 22-pin layout supports efficient multi-signal connections in tight spaces.

Selection Considerations for Marine Applications

• Pin configuration: Confirm the 22-pin layout matches your signal and power requirements before ordering.
• Mating interface: Verify the mating plug part number and gender configuration for your cable assembly.
• Environmental exposure: The IP67 rating applies when mated; confirm sealing requirements for unmated or panel-mounted conditions.
• Temperature range: The -55°C to +200°C operating range suits most marine environments, but verify against your specific installation location.

Suitable and Unsuitable Applications

This connector is well-suited for shipboard navigation, communication, and control systems where vibration resistance and corrosion protection are critical. It is not intended for high-current power distribution or applications requiring frequent unmating under load. For applications needing higher pin counts, consider the MIL-DTL-38999 MS27467 Circular Connectors series.

Inquiry Checklist

To ensure correct matching, please provide the following when inquiring:

• Mating plug part number and gender (male/female)
• Cable diameter and wire gauge for termination
• Required mounting style (panel, cable, or flange)
• Application environment details (temperature, humidity, vibration levels)
• Any specific pinout or keying requirements

For shipbuilders, marine engineers, and system integrators, this connector offers a dependable solution for safe, high-performance, and space-efficient electrical connections in harsh ocean conditions. For related high-reliability connector options, review the 12G Series Circular Connectors.
