M83723/75W803N is the socket half of the MIL-DTL-83723 Series III bayonet plug pair: the /75 style number is the socket version of the bayonet plug, and /76 is its pin counterpart. It carries three size 20 contacts at 7.5 A each in shell size 08 with the 08-03 arrangement, finished in cadmium olive drab (class W) with normal keying.

There is no separate P or S letter in an M83723 part number — the contact gender is carried entirely by the style number, which is why /75 and /76 are different parts even though the shell, insert and finish are identical. The plug mates with a matching /71, /72, /73 or /74 receptacle of shell size 08 arrangement 08-03 carrying pin contacts, and the quarter-turn bayonet coupling gives an audible and tactile lock.
