The MS3455 is a circular MIL-spec connector manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It belongs to the MS3450 series, designed for high-reliability applications requiring robust environmental sealing and secure mechanical coupling. The component features a threaded coupling mechanism and is constructed from materials such as stainless steel or aluminum with appropriate plating to ensure corrosion resistance. It supports various contact configurations depending on the specific suffix variant, accommodating both pin and socket arrangements within a standardized shell size framework defined by military specifications.
Verify the exact suffix codes (e.g., L, S, K) against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm contact type, shell material, and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors in the same series family. Request certification documents to validate compliance with relevant military standards and material traceability requirements before finalizing procurement orders.
Select the appropriate shell size and contact arrangement based on the required number of circuits and current carrying capacity. Consider environmental factors such as temperature range and exposure to fluids when choosing between stainless steel and aluminum shells. Verify that the chosen variant matches the panel cutout dimensions and cable entry requirements of the host assembly.
This component is part of the broader MS3450 series of circular connectors, which are widely used in defense and aerospace industries. Microsemi Corporation, now part of Microchip Technology, produces these connectors to meet stringent military performance criteria. The series offers modular designs allowing for various contact insertions and backshell options to suit diverse system integration needs.
Compatible replacements include equivalent MIL-DTL-5015 style connectors from manufacturers such as Amphenol Aerospace and TE Connectivity. Ensure that any substitute part maintains identical thread specifications, contact geometry, and environmental sealing ratings to guarantee interchangeability without redesigning the host enclosure.
