Industrial MS3116E18-32P Circular Connector Plug

The MS3116E18-32P is a 32-position circular connector plug from MIL-DTL-26482 Series I, designed as a straight, cable-terminated plug with 32 male pin contacts using solder-cup termination. Manufactured under the ITT Cannon/Amphenol line, this connector mates with corresponding MS3116 series receptacles and is intended for rugged aerospace, defense, and industrial applications where reliable high-density interconnects are required. Contacts are copper alloy with gold plating, delivering up to about 7.5 A per contact, making it suitable for power and signal transmissions in demanding environments. As a MIL-DTL-26482 Series I part, it emphasizes durability and environmental resistance, while the 32-pin arrangement supports multi-wire signaling and control wiring in compact form factors. The straight-plug configuration simplifies cabling and mating with standard MS3116 shells, and the solder-cup termination provides a stable, soldered connection for dependable field wiring. Typical use cases include aerospace avionics, rugged military ground support equipment, and industrial automation where a high-count, circular interconnect is required.
