MS27473 Military Connector Types and Core Counts

MS27472 Military Connector

MS27473 Military Connector Overview

The MS27473 military connector range, featured in the catalog, comes in multiple types and core counts. Each variant is fully specified with details on construction materials, ingress protection, thermal operating range, electrical parameters, and termination methods. This page helps engineers and procurement specialists evaluate whether the MS27473 series fits their application requirements before specifying or ordering.

Key Selection Criteria for MS27473 Connectors

When choosing an MS27473 connector variant, consider the following decision points:

• Core count and contact layout: Verify the number of contacts and their arrangement match your circuit requirements.
• Electrical ratings: Confirm current and voltage ratings align with your system's operating parameters.
• Environmental protection: Check the ingress protection rating and operating temperature range against your installation environment.
• Termination method: Determine whether solder, crimp, or other termination styles suit your assembly process.
• Construction materials: Review shell, insulator, and contact materials for compatibility with your application's mechanical and chemical demands.

Electrical and Environmental Parameters

The MS27473 series is specified with defined electrical limits and environmental ratings. Rated values should be distinguished from application derating conditions. Always verify that the selected variant's ratings provide adequate margin for your actual operating conditions, including temperature extremes, vibration, and exposure to moisture or contaminants.

Termination and Installation Considerations

Termination methods vary by variant. Confirm the recommended tooling and procedures for your chosen termination style before production. Proper installation practices directly affect long-term reliability, especially in demanding military or industrial environments.

Application Fit Assessment

The MS27473 series suits applications requiring robust, environmentally protected circular connections. However, suitability depends on matching the specific variant's electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications to your system requirements. If your application involves unusual mating cycles, cable ranges, or mounting configurations, verify these parameters against the catalog data before finalizing your selection.
