Introduction

MS3417-18C connectors are cable clamps and backshells that are most commonly used in military applications, defense, avionics, and space applications. They are also known as \'Latchlok\' connectors because of their locking mechanism which helps to prevent accidental disconnection of wires and makes them suitable for rugged environments. MS3417-18C connectors provide reliable, robust and flexible connections in applications where vibration, abrasion, and EMI/RFI protection are required. They are available with an extensive range of options, from pre-assembled backshells, thread-together clamp shells, fixed and swivel cable clamps, fixed metal cable strain reliefs, as well as straight and angled clamps.

Features and Benefits

The MS3417-18C circular connectors have a wide range of features that provide numerous advantages when used in severe environmental conditions. Some of these features include:

• Tough metal housing designed for extreme environmental conditions.
• Secure locking mechanism to provide maximum security and safety.
• Precise design of the terminal contacts for reliable electrical connections.
• Flexible assembly time due to pre-assembled backshells.
• Backshells with improved EMI/RFI shielding.
• A range of options such as fixed metallic cable strain reliefs.
• IP67-rated cables suitable for submersion in shallow water.
• Corrosion-resistant gold-plated contacts.

Application Field

MS3417-18C connectors are most commonly used in military and aerospace applications and can be found in combat aircraft, bombers, tanks, naval ships, ground-based radars, satellites, and unmanned aerial vehicles. They are also used in harsh environments, from hostile deserts and jungles to deep sea depths, for communication systems, avionics, and instrumentation.

Working Principle

The MS3417-18C connectors feature a distinct locking mechanism that helps to prevent accidental disconnection. The locking mechanism consists of a special latch that enables secure connection between the male and female halves, ensuring reliable and robust electrical connections. This latch can only be released when the backshell is completely screwed in, which prevents the accidental disconnection of the electrical contact.

Conclusion

MS3417-18C circular connectors are designed for use in rugged and hostile environments, providing reliable, robust, and flexible connections in a variety of applications and industries. These connectors are characterized by their distinct locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection by securely connecting the male and female halves. They are an excellent solution for military and aerospace applications, as well as harsh environments, due to their strong metal housing and pre-assembled backshells that provide corrosion resistance and improved EMI/RFI shielding.
