Straight Plug, 8 × #20 Socket (Female), Shell 12

Specifications

Part-Number Decode & Cross-Reference

Applications

• Straight Plug for a 8-way #20 harness run (insert 12-8)
• Ground-support, test-bench and vehicle wiring where the bayonet interface is already qualified
• Series II rear-release crimp repairs on legacy MIL-C-26482 harnesses
• Keyed mating pairs where position Y prevents cross-plugging of adjacent connectors

The MS3476L12-8SY is a 8-contact (socket) straight plug in the MIL-DTL-26482 Series II family, shell size 12, insert arrangement 12-8. The plain straight plug of the series: bayonet coupling, rear-release crimp contacts and no RFI grounding fingers. Series II keeps the three-point bayonet interface of the original 26482 but replaces solder cups with rear-release crimp contacts, so contacts are terminated and inspected on the bench before insertion. The electroless nickel (conductive, environmental) finish suits conductive, wear-resistant mating in an environmental shell. This variant carries alternate key position Y, which rotates the insert so it will only mate with a receptacle keyed to the same position — the standard way to keep two adjacent connectors from being cross-plugged.
