Amphenol
®
catalog covers a large variety of miniature
cylindricals including the following:
• MIL-C-26482, Series 1 - bayonet coupling connec-
tors with solder contacts
• MIL-C-26482, Series 1 - bayonet coupling connec-
tors with front release crimp contacts
• Other proprietary crimp and solder types including
hermetics and connectors with printed circuit board
contacts, as well as other shell styles, alternative
connector finishes and additional contact options
• Additional miniature cylindricals that have double
stub threaded coupling rather than bayonet coupling
See page 15 for more information on these additional
miniature cylindrical connector products.

Amphenol broadens their Miniature Cylindrical Family of
Connectors with the addition of the Matrix
®
Product line
of MIL-C-26482, Series 2 connectors.
MS3470
wall mounting receptacle
with narrow flange
MS3472
wall mounting receptacle
with wide flange
This series provides a bayonet coupling connector with crimp
rear insertable, rear releasable contacts.
DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS
• Medium size, environmentally resistant connector
• Recommended operating voltage to 1,000 VAC (RMS)
at sea level
• Quick positive coupling assured by 3 point bayonet
coupling system
• Visual confirmation of complete coupling
• Eliminates mismating by the use of five key/keyway design
• Insertion and removal of contacts from the rear of the con-
nector assures no damage to the front that might affect the
sealing characteristics
MS3471
cable connecting receptacle
• Utilizes same standard qualified rear-release type plastic
tool for contact insertion and removal
• Contacts are qualified to MIL-C-39029 requirements – BIN
coded (three color bands), and are crimped with standard
crimp tools per MIL-C-22520
• Grommets are constructed of tear-resistant elastomer and
experience no degradation when exposed to a broad
range of fluids
• Sealing over a range of wire diameters is assured by a tri-
ple webbed grommet at the rear of the connector
MS3474
jam nut receptacle
• Closed entry socket side of the insert is designed with a
lead-in chamfer and a hard face that will accept a pin con-
tact bent within pre-established limits
• Elastomer interfacial seal on the pin side has raised barri-
ers around each pin which displace into the socket cham-
fer when mated, providing a positive moisture seal
CUSTOMER OPTIONS
• Shell styles within this family include:
Wall mount with either a narrow or a wide flange, jam nut
single hole mount, and cable connecting receptacles,
along with standard plugs or plugs with RFI grounding fin-
gers, in shell sizes 8 to 24
• MS and Proprietary versions available
• Accommodation of contact sizes 20, 16 and 12
• 34 insert arrangement patterns available, accommodating
from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 55 circuits
• Alternate positioning available
• Various finishes are available (for information on non-cad-
mium zinc alloy plating, consult Amphenol, Sidney, NY)

** Service Rating is comparable to MS rating A. Miniature connectors rated Service Rating I will provide a minimum flashover
voltage at sea level of 2,000 volts AC (RMS). Service Rating II is comparable to MS Service Rating D, and will provide a
minimum flashover voltage of 2,800 volts AC (RMS) at sea level.
Please note that the electrical data given is not an establishment of electrical safety factors. This is left entirely in the
designer’s hands, as he can best determine which peak voltage, switching surges, transients, etc. can be expected in a
particular circuit.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE
SHOCK AND VIBRATION REQUIREMENTS
–65°C (–85°F) to 200°C (392°F)
ENVIRONMENTAL SEAL
When tested as follows, the connector shall sustain no
physical damage, or electrical discontinuity exceeding
one microsecond.
SHOCK:
Wired, mated connectors with the specified accessory
attached will meet the altitude immersion test specified in
MIL-C-26482.
DURABILITY
Pulse of an approximate half sine wave of 300g magnitude
with duration of 3 milliseconds applied in three axes.
VIBRATION:
Minimum of 500 mating cycles.
Sixteen hours of random vibration having a range of 50 to
2,000 Hz with a 41.7G peak level.
