M83723/73W1404Y is the socket jam-nut receptacle of MIL-DTL-83723 Series III. The /73 style number is the jam-nut body carrying socket contacts; /74 is the same body with pins. It mounts through a single panel hole and is retained from the front with a hex jam nut and lockwasher, which is the shell style used on bulkheads where the four-hole flange of the /71 and /72 wall-mount bodies will not fit.

Shell size 14 with insert arrangement 14-04 gives four size 12 contacts at 23 A each — a small, high-current power layout — in a cadmium olive drab (class W) shell. The trailing Y is the insert key position, an alternate rotation that prevents this receptacle from being mated to an N-key plug of the same shell size and arrangement. The mating plug is a /75 or /76 straight plug in shell 14, arrangement 14-04, with pin contacts and key Y.
