Applications

M83723/76W803N is the pin half of the MIL-DTL-83723 Series III bayonet plug pair. The /76 style number encodes the contact type directly — there is no separate P/S letter in an M83723 PN — and /76 is the pin version of the bayonet plug; its socket counterpart is /75. Shell size 08 with insert arrangement 08-03 carries three size 20 contacts at 7.5 A each in a cadmium olive drab (class W) shell with normal keying.

83723 Series III is the rear-release crimp generation of the old MIL-C-83723 bayonet interface: contacts are serviced with standard M81969 tooling, the insert is an environmental elastomer, and the bayonet coupling gives a quarter-turn push-and-click mate. The plug mates with the matching /71 or /72 wall-mount, /73 or /74 jam-nut receptacles of the same shell size and arrangement carrying the opposite contact gender.
