Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MSW07E8-3P-SR qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment criteria:

• Connector Category: Both are circular connectors
• Position Count: Both accommodate 3-position configurations
• Shell Size - Insert: Both use 8-3 specification
• Fastening Type: Both employ bayonet lock mechanisms
• Termination Method: Both support solder termination
• Environmental Rating: Both provide environment-resistant ingress protection
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate across -55°C to 125°C
• Product Status: Both are active production components

These parameters establish functional and mechanical compatibility for direct substitution in applications where the specified electrical and environmental characteristics are required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MS3114F8-3P and MSW07E8-3P-SR maintain active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The MSW07E8-3P-SR is RoHS non-compliant; applications requiring RoHS compliance must verify the main part's compliance status before substitution. The MSW07E8-3P-SR includes integrated strain relief and operates within military-grade specifications. Selection between these components should be based on specific application requirements regarding compliance certifications, supplier preference, and inventory availability at the time of procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines compatibility between MS3114F8-3P and MSW07E8-3P-SR?

A: Compatibility is established through matching shell size-insert specification (8-3), position count (3), fastening mechanism (bayonet lock), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Both components are circular connectors with identical mechanical coupling interfaces.

Q: Can MSW07E8-3P-SR be used as a direct replacement in all applications?

A: Direct substitution is valid for applications where the specified electrical ratings (7.5A, 800V), solder termination, and environment-resistant ingress protection are acceptable. Applications with specific compliance requirements must verify RoHS and REACH status before implementation.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: MS3114F8-3P is supplied in bulk packaging, while MSW07E8-3P-SR is supplied in bag packaging. This affects handling, storage, and inventory management but does not impact functional performance.

Q: Are there differences in connector orientation?

A: MS3114F8-3P is specified as a receptacle position connector, while MSW07E8-3P-SR is a plug with male pins. These are complementary connector types designed to mate with corresponding counterparts in a complete assembly.

Q: What should be verified before substitution in military applications?

A: The MSW07E8-3P-SR is designated for military applications and includes strain relief features. Verify that the main part MS3114F8-3P meets equivalent military specifications and that all compliance certifications align with application requirements.
