Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MS3116F18-11P is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 11
• Shell Size - Insert: 18-11
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Current Rating: 13A minimum
• Ingress Protection: Environment Resistant

Allowable Variations:

• Termination method (Solder Cup vs. Solder)
• Manufacturer and series designation
• Shell finish and contact finish specifications
• Packaging format (Bulk vs. Bag)
• Voltage rating (substitute must meet or exceed application requirements)

The identified substitute MSW06E18-11P-SR from Milspecwest, LLC satisfies all mandatory matching parameters while offering an alternative termination approach (Solder vs. Solder Cup) and different packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MS3116F18-11P Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice for applications requiring solder cup termination with direct PCB or wire integration
• Supports full voltage specification of 1000VAC/1400VDC
• Bulk packaging suitable for high-volume production environments
• Active product status with extensive inventory (20,099 pcs)
• Established ITT Cannon KPT series compatibility

MSW06E18-11P-SR Selection Criteria:

• Alternative for applications utilizing solder termination methodology
• Voltage rating of 800V is suitable for applications not requiring the full 1000VAC/1400VDC specification
• Bag packaging appropriate for smaller quantity orders or kit assembly
• Military-grade designation (26482 Style Connectors series)
• Lower inventory availability (920 pcs) requires lead time consideration

Compliance Considerations: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. Selection should account for regulatory requirements of the end application. The MS3116F18-11P carries EAR99 ECCN classification; MSW06E18-11P-SR also carries EAR99 classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MSW06E18-11P-SR replace MS3116F18-11P in all applications?

A: MSW06E18-11P-SR is compatible for applications where the 800V voltage rating is sufficient. The primary difference is termination method (Solder vs. Solder Cup). Applications requiring the full 1000VAC/1400VDC specification must use MS3116F18-11P.

Q: What is the difference between Solder Cup and Solder termination?

A: Solder Cup termination features a cup-shaped contact designed for wire insertion and solder attachment. Solder termination uses a flat or formed contact surface for solder connection. Both methods provide electrical connection; selection depends on assembly process and PCB design.

Q: Are these connectors mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical shell size (18-11), position count (11), fastening type (Bayonet Lock), and mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line). Mechanical mating is identical.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: MS3116F18-11P is supplied in Bulk packaging; MSW06E18-11P-SR is supplied in Bag packaging. Bulk packaging is standard for high-volume production; Bag packaging is typical for smaller quantities or kit assembly.

Q: Do both parts meet the same temperature operating range?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate across -55°C to 125°C with identical current rating of 13A and strain relief features.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: MS3116F18-11P has 20,099 pcs in stock (Bulk). MSW06E18-11P-SR has 920 pcs in stock (Bag). Availability should be confirmed for time-sensitive applications.
