Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MS3116E14-5P is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type & Gender: Plug with male pins (maintains mating compatibility with existing receptacles)
• Position Count: 5 positions (ensures signal routing compatibility)
• Shell Size: 14-5 (guarantees mechanical fit and coupling interface)
• Fastening Mechanism: Bayonet lock (ensures secure connection and interchangeability)
• Mounting Configuration: Free hanging in-line (maintains installation compatibility)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (ensures thermal performance equivalence)
• Environmental Resistance: Environment resistant rating (maintains protection level)

The MSW06E14-5P from Milspecwest, LLC qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. Both connectors share the same shell size (14-5), position count (5), bayonet-lock fastening, aluminum shell construction, and identical operating temperature range. Both are designed for military and environmental applications with equivalent ingress protection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The MS3116E14-5P is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The MSW06E14-5P is active and currently in stock (1139 pcs available), making it the appropriate substitute for ongoing procurement.

Compliance Alignment: Both connectors are RoHS non-compliant and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment.

Termination Difference: The MS3116E14-5P specifies solder cup termination, while the MSW06E14-5P specifies solder termination. Both are solder-based termination methods suitable for the same application context. The MSW06E14-5P provides additional electrical specifications (13A current rating, 800V voltage rating) not listed for the original part.

Series Designation: The MS3116E14-5P conforms to MIL-DTL-26482 Series I, while the MSW06E14-5P is designated as a 26482 Style Connector. Both reference the same military standard framework, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MSW06E14-5P directly replace the MS3116E14-5P in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical shell size (14-5), position count (5), bayonet-lock fastening, and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The mechanical interface and mating compatibility are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between "solder cup" and "solder" termination?

A: Both are solder-based termination methods. Solder cup termination typically features a cup-shaped contact designed for wire insertion and solder flow. Solder termination is the general category encompassing this method. Both are suitable for the same wire attachment applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these connectors?

A: Both connectors are RoHS non-compliant and carry the same EAR99 export control classification. No compliance advantage exists between the two parts.

Q: Why does the MSW06E14-5P list electrical ratings while the MS3116E14-5P does not?

A: The MSW06E14-5P datasheet provides explicit current (13A) and voltage (800V) ratings. The MS3116E14-5P input data does not include these specifications. Both connectors are rated for the same operating temperature range and environmental resistance, indicating equivalent performance capability for military and industrial applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The MS3116E14-5P packaging is not specified in the available data. The MSW06E14-5P is supplied in bag packaging. This difference does not affect functional compatibility.
