71-418624-61W

Overview

The Amphenol Aerospace Operations model 71-418624-61W is a circular MIL-spec connector belonging to the MS3106 series, compliant with MIL-DTL-26482 Series I. It is a cable-mount plug featuring 6 positions with size 22D socket contacts. The housing is constructed from aluminum alloy with an electroless nickel finish. Designed for crimp termination, this straight-mount receptacle supports a current rating of 1.5 A and a voltage rating of 500 VAC. It utilizes a bayonet coupling mechanism for secure engagement in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Bayonet coupling system ensures rapid connection and secure locking under vibration
• Electroless nickel plated aluminum alloy shell provides corrosion resistance
• Crimp contact termination allows for reliable field assembly and maintenance

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Radar equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm exact contact arrangements and environmental sealing options. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors regarding shell size and keying positions. Confirm that the crimp tooling matches the specified contact size for proper termination integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a lightweight, shielded circular connector is required for panel or cable mounting. The size 22D contacts are suitable for low-current signal transmission. Verify that the operating environment temperature range aligns with the standard MIL-DTL-26482 specifications for the selected plating and seal materials.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MS3106/MS3116 family of circular connectors defined by MIL-DTL-26482. These connectors are widely used in industrial and military applications requiring robust performance. The 'W' suffix typically denotes a specific shell style or accessory configuration within the Amphenol product line.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include ITT Cannon MS3106E24-61S and Glenair equivalent series. Verify cross-reference availability through authorized distributors to ensure compliance with original MIL-DTL-26482 dimensional and electrical standards.
