Description

This electronic component model, MS3470L18-11PY, belongs to the product category of Circular Connectors & Cable Connectors. It is a part of the Amphenol MIL-C-26482 Series 2 Connectors. These connectors are bayonet coupling type, featuring rear insertable and rear releasable crimp contacts. The connectors are designed to provide quick positive coupling with visual confirmation, eliminating mismating through a five key/keyway design. The contacts can be inserted and removed from the rear of the connectors, ensuring no damage to the front and maintaining sealing characteristics. The connectors utilize standard qualified rear release type plastic tool for contact insertion and removal. The contacts are qualified to MIL-C-39029 requirements and are crimped with standard crimp tools per MIL-C-22520. The grommets of the connectors are constructed of tear-resistant elastomer and are resistant to a broad range of fluids. A triple webbed grommet at the rear of the connector ensures sealing over a range of wire diameters. The insert of the connector is designed with a lead-in chamfer and a hard face on the closed entry socket side, accommodating pin contacts bent within pre-established limits. The pin side of the connector has an elastomer interfacial seal with raised barriers around each pin, providing a positive moisture seal.

Specifications and features

• Medium size, environmentally resistant connector
• Recommended operating voltage to 1000 VAC (RMS) at sea level
• Quick positive coupling assured by 3 point bayonet coupling system
• Visual confirmation of complete coupling
• Eliminates mismating by the use of five key/keyway design
• Insertion and removal of contacts from the rear of the connectors assures no damage to the front that might affect the sealing characteristics
• Utilizes same standard qualified rear release type plastic tool for contact insertion and removal
• Contacts are qualified to MIL-C-39029 requirements - BIN coded (three colour bands), and are crimped with standard crimp tools per MIL-C-22520
• Grommets are constructed of tear-resistant elastomer and experience no degradation when exposed to a broad range of fluids
• Sealing over a range of wire diameters is assured by a triple webbed grommet at the rear of the connector
• Closed entry socket side of the insert is designed with a lead-in chamfer and a hard face that will accept a pin contact bent within pre-established limits
• Elastomer interfacial seal on the pin side has raised barriers around each pin which displace into the socket chamfer when mated, providing a positive moisture seal

Application Scenarios

This electronic component model, MS3470L18-11PY, can be used in various scenarios that require a medium size, environmentally resistant connector. It is recommended for use in applications where the operating voltage does not exceed 1000 VAC (RMS) at sea level. The quick positive coupling system of the connectors ensures reliable connections with visual confirmation. The design of the connectors eliminates mismating and allows for easy insertion and removal of contacts from the rear. The connectors are suitable for use in environments where sealing is important, as they feature tear-resistant elastomer grommets and a triple webbed grommet for sealing over different wire diameters. The connectors are also designed to provide a positive moisture seal, making them suitable for applications where moisture protection is required.
