Description

MIL-DTL-26482 Connectors Specification

Optimized 3-Wire Interface: The 8-3 arrangement is the standard choice for L-N-G power circuits or 3-wire sensor systems. It provides a balanced layout for ground, neutral, and line connections in ultra-compact electronic enclosures.
Instant Bayonet Locking: Our quick-disconnect bayonet system allows for 100% positive mating with only a 1/3 turn. This provides tactile feedback and an audible "click," ensuring the connector remains locked even under extreme mechanical vibration.
Superior Signal Integrity: Equipped with high-conductivity gold-plated contacts, the 8-3 series minimizes contact resistance and prevents oxidation. This ensures consistent electrical performance throughout its 500+ mating cycles lifespan.
Rugged Environmental Sealing: Engineered with a resilient neoprene insert and specialized interfacial seals, it achieves a full IP67 waterproof rating. It effectively blocks dust, moisture, and fuel, making it ideal for harsh outdoor deployment.
Global Standard Compatibility: Fully compliant with MIL-DTL-26482 Series I, our 8-3 connectors are 100% intermateable with Amphenol PT, ITT Cannon KPT, and Souriau 851, offering a reliable alternative for your 2026 supply chain.

FAQ

Q1: Can I use the MIL-DTL-26482 8-3 8 Shell 3pin connector for 110V/220V AC power?
A: Yes, the 8-3 is rated for up to 600V AC. It is commonly used for small AC power inputs where a Ground-Neutral-Line (3-wire) configuration is necessary.
Q2: What is the difference between 8-3 and 8-33 layouts?
A: While both have 3 pins, their insert arrangements (pin patterns) are different and not intermateable. Please check your existing equipment's pin orientation before purchasing.
Q3: Are these connectors RoHS compliant?
A: We offer RoHS compliant finishes, such as Black Anodized and Electroless Nickel, specifically for commercial and industrial applications in 2026.
Q4: Is the MS3116F 8-3P compatible with Amphenol PT06F-8-3P?
A: Yes, all our MIL-DTL-26482 Series I connectors are 100% intermateable and interchangeable with Amphenol, ITT Cannon, and other MIL-SPEC brands.
