MS27467 Circular Connectors

MS27508E14B35P 37-Pin MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Plug for Shipboard Automation

The MS27508E14B35P is a 37-pin circular plug connector engineered for marine and offshore electrical systems that require reliable signal transmission and strong mechanical retention. Built to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III standards, it delivers dependable performance in environments where vibration, humidity, and temperature fluctuation are common.

Its 37-contact configuration supports medium-density signal routing, enabling efficient integration of monitoring circuits, alarm systems, and distributed control modules within shipboard installations.

Typical Marine Applications

• Navigation & Bridge Consoles – Signal interfaces for radar displays, GPS receivers, and integrated bridge systems.
• Propulsion & Engine Monitoring – Sensor networks for temperature, pressure, and performance diagnostics.
• Shipboard Communication Systems – Internal signaling between control stations and distributed modules.
• Automation & Alarm Panels – PLC inputs/outputs and centralized monitoring systems.

Construction and Environmental Protection

The connector features a corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy housing and a sealed mating interface capable of achieving IP67 protection, shielding internal contacts from moisture and contaminants. The gold-plated brass contacts provide stable conductivity for repeated mating cycles.

With an operating temperature range from −65°C to +200°C, the MS27508E14B35P suits installation in both exposed deck areas and high-temperature engine compartments.

Selection Considerations for Shipboard Systems

When evaluating this plug for your application, confirm the following before ordering:

• Mating receptacle – Verify the corresponding socket part number and shell size to ensure proper keying and alignment.
• Cable entry – Specify the cable diameter and whether you need a straight or right-angle accessory for routing constraints.
• Contact arrangement – Confirm the pin layout matches your wiring schematic for signal and power distribution.
• Environmental exposure – Determine if the installation point is continuously submerged or subject to salt spray, which may require additional protective measures.

Installation and Maintenance Notes

For reliable long-term performance, follow the recommended torque values during coupling and inspect the sealing surfaces periodically. The bayonet coupling mechanism provides visual and tactile confirmation of full engagement, reducing the risk of partial mating in confined spaces.
