MIL-DTL-38999 MS27467 Circular Connectors

MS27497T8B35SA Circular Socket for Marine and Shipboard Systems

The MS27497T8B35SA is a high-reliability 6-pin circular socket connector engineered for demanding marine and shipboard electrical systems. As part of the MIL-DTL-38999 Series II family, it is suited for applications where compact size, environmental resistance, and mechanical stability are essential.

Designed for Real Marine Operating Conditions

Unlike general industrial connectors, this model is built to perform in environments exposed to:

• Continuous engine vibration
• Salt-laden air and sea spray
• High humidity and condensation
• Rapid temperature fluctuations
• Limited service access areas

Its Shell Size 8 configuration allows installation in confined equipment housings such as bridge control modules, navigation panels, engine monitoring units, and marine PLC cabinets.

Mechanical Security at Sea

The bayonet coupling system ensures fast, positive locking while preventing accidental disengagement caused by vessel movement or mechanical shock. This makes it particularly suitable for:

• Radar interface modules
• Generator monitoring circuits
• Deck crane control wiring
• Sensor distribution networks
• Onboard communication systems

Environmental Durability and Electrical Reliability

The corrosion-resistant aluminum shell protects against offshore exposure, while IP67 sealing (when mated) safeguards internal contacts from dust and water ingress. The wide operating temperature range supports reliable performance from cold-weather operations to high-heat engine room conditions.

Crimp termination ensures consistent contact integrity and low contact resistance, maintaining stable signal transmission in multi-core control circuits and low-current applications.

Why Choose MS27497T8B35SA for Marine Systems?

• Compact 6-pin configuration for multi-signal integration
• Secure vibration-resistant locking mechanism
• Salt-spray resistant metal housing
• Waterproof and dustproof sealing
• Designed for long service life in shipboard systems

Selection Considerations and Inquiry Checklist

When evaluating this connector for your application, confirm the following details to ensure correct mating and installation:

• Mating plug part number and shell style (straight or angled)
• Required contact arrangement and pinout diagram
• Cable diameter and wire gauge for crimp termination
• Mounting configuration: panel mount, cable mount, or PCB
• Operating temperature range and exposure conditions
