Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MS3116F10-98S is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Plug with female sockets (6 positions)
• Shell Size and Insert: 10-98 (ensures mechanical compatibility with mating receptacles)
• Fastening Mechanism: Bayonet lock (required for proper coupling)
• Termination Method: Solder cup (for PCB or wire attachment)
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 7.5A current capacity and voltage rating ≥600VAC
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C range
• Environmental Protection: Environment resistant classification

The substitute part MSW06E10-98S-SR, manufactured by Milspecwest, LLC, meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts conform to MIL-DTL-26482 style specifications, share identical mechanical dimensions (shell size 10-98), support the same bayonet lock fastening, and operate within the required temperature range.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MS3116F10-98S (Primary Selection)

Select this part when Amphenol inventory is available and RoHS compliance is required for end applications. This connector is manufactured by a primary aerospace and defense supplier with established qualification history in military and industrial systems.

MSW06E10-98S-SR (Substitute Selection)

This part is suitable as a direct substitute when:

• Amphenol MS3116F10-98S lead times exceed project requirements
• Inventory constraints necessitate alternative sourcing
• Application specifications do not mandate RoHS compliance

The MSW06E10-98S-SR exceeds the voltage rating requirement (800V vs. 600VAC) and maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. However, note that this substitute is classified as RoHS non-compliant and REACH status is vendor-undefined. Verify compliance requirements with your procurement and quality assurance departments before final selection.

Both connectors are active products with current production status and suitable for military applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MSW06E10-98S-SR be used as a direct replacement for MS3116F10-98S in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, provided that RoHS compliance is not a contractual requirement. Both connectors share identical shell size (10-98), position count (6), fastening mechanism (bayonet lock), and operating temperature range. The substitute part's higher voltage rating (800V) is compatible with the original specification (600VAC).

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer, shell finish (Amphenol uses olive drab chromate over cadmium; Milspecwest uses cadmium), contact finish (gold vs. cadmium), and regulatory compliance status. Electrically and mechanically, both parts are equivalent for the specified application parameters.

Q: Are there any termination differences I should be aware of?

A: Both connectors use solder termination. The MS3116F10-98S specifies "solder cup" while the MSW06E10-98S-SR specifies "solder." This distinction does not affect compatibility; both support standard solder attachment methods for PCB or wire connections.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, evaluate your compliance requirements. If RoHS compliance is mandatory, select MS3116F10-98S. If RoHS is not required and cost or lead time is a factor, MSW06E10-98S-SR is a valid alternative. Confirm with your quality and procurement teams that the substitute meets all contractual and regulatory obligations.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: MS3116F10-98S has 1,069 units in stock. MSW06E10-98S-SR has 663 units in stock. Both are available for immediate procurement.
