MIL-DTL-38999 MS27467 Circular Connectors
MS27473E8B98S 3-Pin Circular Connector – Shell Size 8, Series II Socket
The MS27473E8B98S is a compact and rugged circular connector designed in compliance with MIL-DTL-38999 Series II requirements. Featuring a 3-pin socket configuration within a Shell Size 8 housing, this connector is ideal for applications where space is limited but reliability cannot be compromised.

Engineered for Demanding Environments
Built with a corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy shell, the MS27473E8B98S performs reliably in marine, shipboard, aerospace, and industrial environments. Its sealed construction provides IP67 protection when mated, helping prevent moisture and dust ingress in exposed installations.
The bayonet coupling mechanism ensures quick and secure mating, maintaining stable electrical connections even under vibration and mechanical stress. Crimp termination supports consistent conductivity while simplifying assembly and maintenance.

Selection Considerations for Your Application
Before specifying the MS27473E8B98S, verify that the following factors match your system requirements:
-
Mating interface: Confirm the corresponding plug part number and shell size compatibility for your cable assembly.
-
Contact arrangement: The 3-pin layout suits signal and low-current power; verify pin assignment against your wiring diagram.
-
Environmental exposure: IP67 rating applies when mated; confirm whether unmated protection or higher ingress ratings are needed.
-
Termination method: Crimp contacts require appropriate tooling; ensure your assembly process supports this termination style.
-
Temperature range: Operation from -65°C to +175°C covers most extreme conditions, but confirm your specific thermal profile.
Compact Yet Durable Construction
Despite its small footprint, this 3-pin connector delivers dependable signal and low-current power transmission. The robust mechanical design supports operation across a wide temperature range from -65°C to +175°C, making it suitable for extreme environmental conditions.
