MSW07E14-5P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MSW07E14-5P is a 5-position circular connector plug with male pins, manufactured by Milspecwest, LLC. This connector features a bayonet lock fastening mechanism, panel mount bulkhead installation, and solder termination. The part is classified as an active product with 1,136 units in current inventory stock.

Identification of substitute parts becomes necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, experiences supply chain constraints, or when design requirements necessitate alternative contact finishes or termination methods. The MSW07E14-5P operates within military-grade specifications and requires compatible alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical performance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute compatibility for the MSW07E14-5P is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Shell size and insert designation (14-5)
• Number of positions (5)
• Fastening type (Bayonet Lock)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Bulkhead - Front Side Nut)

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
• Voltage rating (800V minimum)
• Current rating (13A minimum)

Series Compliance:

• MIL-DTL-26482 series alignment

The MS3114E14-5P qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains identical shell size, position count, fastening mechanism, mounting type, and operating temperature specifications. Both parts conform to MIL-DTL-26482 military circular connector standards and support the same environmental resistance classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MSW07E14-5P Selection Criteria: The MSW07E14-5P maintains active product status with established supply availability (1,136 units in stock). This part is suitable for new designs and applications requiring immediate procurement. The cadmium contact finish and solder termination provide standard military-grade performance for the specified operating environment.

MS3114E14-5P Selection Criteria: The MS3114E14-5P is classified as discontinued at DiGi Electronics, indicating limited future availability through standard distribution channels. This part is manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations under MIL-DTL-26482 Series I specifications. The gold contact finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to cadmium plating. The solder cup termination differs from the MSW07E14-5P solder configuration. This part functions as a mating receptacle to the MSW07E14-5P plug connector.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and EAR99 export classification, consistent with military-grade circular connector specifications. Selection between these parts depends on connector orientation requirements (plug versus receptacle) and contact finish performance criteria for the specific application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MS3114E14-5P directly replace the MSW07E14-5P in existing assemblies?

A: The MS3114E14-5P functions as a mating receptacle connector, while the MSW07E14-5P is a plug connector. These parts are designed to connect together, not to substitute for one another in the same circuit position. Direct replacement is not applicable.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors between these connectors?

A: Both connectors share identical shell size (14-5), position count (5), bayonet lock fastening, panel mount bulkhead configuration, and aluminum shell material. These parameters ensure mechanical interchangeability for mating pair applications.

Q: How do the contact finishes differ between these parts?

A: The MSW07E14-5P features cadmium contact finish on male pins. The MS3114E14-5P features gold contact finish on male pins. Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance in high-humidity or corrosive environments compared to cadmium.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these connectors?

A: The MSW07E14-5P specifies 13A current rating and 800V voltage rating. The MS3114E14-5P does not provide explicit current and voltage ratings in available documentation. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and maintain environment-resistant ingress protection.

Q: What is the significance of the discontinued status for MS3114E14-5P?

A: Discontinued status indicates that DiGi Electronics no longer actively stocks this part. Procurement may require alternative distribution channels or direct manufacturer contact. The MSW07E14-5P active status ensures continued availability through standard component suppliers.

Q: Do both connectors comply with the same military standards?

A: Both connectors conform to MIL-DTL-26482 military circular connector specifications. The MSW07E14-5P is designated as 26482 Style Connectors, while the MS3114E14-5P is explicitly specified as MIL-DTL-26482 Series I. This alignment ensures compatibility within military-grade applications.

Q: What termination method differences exist between these parts?

A: The MSW07E14-5P uses solder termination. The MS3114E14-5P uses solder cup termination. Both methods provide permanent electrical connections suitable for high-reliability applications, with solder cup offering slightly different assembly procedures.
