Introduction
MS3116F8-3S 3-Pin Male Circular Connector
Bayonet Lock, Heavy-Duty, Vibration-Proof for Military/Automation Equipment
Product Overview

The MS3116F8-3S is a high-reliability low-density circular military connector that fully complies with MIL-DTL-26482 Series I specifications. Designed as the dedicated mating plug for MS3112E8-3S panel-mount receptacles, this connector enables high-current power transmission and critical signal transfer in harsh environments.

Key features include 3 male pins (size #16), rugged aluminum alloy shell, gold-plated high-conductivity contacts, and a cable-mount design with quick-lock bayonet coupling system for stable connectivity under extreme conditions including intense vibration, wide temperature fluctuations, and chemical corrosion.
