There are several different manufacturers of connectors that mates with the Datalogger connectors, but
not all manufacturers make all of the pin-out variations. The part numbers we specify below are for
Souriau connectors with solder cup connections. Crimp connections are also available, but do not order
these unless you have the proper assembly tools.
Be particularly aware of problems in the 8-3 family, there are some variations that look like they should
mate, but the pins are in slightly different positions.
There are several different styles of environmental sealing, depending on the type of wire used. The part
numbers we have specified are for sealing to jacketed cables. There are also types that are for loose wire
bundles and thus seal the individual wires, or are intended for potting. Not all manufacturers make all
variations in sealing, so check the catalog very carefully before ordering a different brand. The true
military equivalents usually do not seal to jacketed cable -- check with your supplier. Note that
individual wire seals require wires of a specific diameter to work.
Delivery can be slow from the suppliers -- there are so many possible variations of these military style
connectors that the suppliers often stock the raw parts and then assemble the ordered combination
when they get an order.
WARNING !
If you are soldering wires to the connector, make sure you clean the flux off
the connector after soldering. Any moisture present inside the connector will combine
with the flux and cause corrosion eventually resulting in a connection failure.
Part number example
Part number: 851-06JC10-6PN50
851
Souriau series designation for this family of connectors
06
cable connecting plug (i.e., plugs into the Datalogger connectors)
JC
seals to jacketed cable, with cable clamp
10
shell size (connector diameter)
6
contact arrangement (6 pins in hexagon)
P
pins (as opposed to sockets)
N
normal - insert not rotated (this is left out of the part number)
50
Souriau series index
In general, all of the connectors is of the form 851-06JCxx-xxYN50 where xx-xx is the shell size and
contact arrangement, and Y is the pin (P) or socket (S) descriptor. This cable end connector is equivalent
to MS3116Fxx-xxYN except that the military has individual wire seals instead of sealing to jacketed
cable. Check with your supplier to see if a jacket seal is available.
