Product Description
MS3116A-10-6P is used in parts searches and legacy procurement records for a MIL-DTL-26482 Series I-style straight plug with shell size 10, the 10-6 insert arrangement and six pin solder contacts. The PT-family product represented by the available physical photos is PT06A-10-6P, whose A code identifies a general-duty backshell configuration.
The relationship must be described carefully. Amphenol's official PT cross-reference table lists PT06A with no official MS equivalent, even though MS3116A and PT06A are paired in parts-market catalogs. Tradin Connect therefore treats MS3116A-10-6P as the primary market or legacy search reference and PT06A-10-6P as the corresponding commercial configuration for engineering review—not as proof of QPL status or automatic interchangeability.
PT06E-10-6P(SR) is a different configuration. The E code and SR option describe an environmental open-wire seal with strain relief and are associated with the MS3116F relationship, so that model is retained only for comparison. For a quotation, send the installed part marking, mating receptacle, wire sizes, cable OD, finish and required documents.
MS and manufacturer model numbers identify the requested cross-reference. The supplied alternative is quoted under Tradin Connect; final mating, rear configuration, finish, dimensions and qualification documents are confirmed from the proposed item.
MS, PT and other manufacturer references
| Reference | Relationship | Selection note |
|---|---|---|
| Market / legacy MS referenceMS3116A-10-6P | Primary search requirement | Straight-plug reference, shell size 10, 10-6 insert and six pins. Verify the original drawing because A-class terminology is not an official PT-to-MS cross-reference in Amphenol's table. |
| Amphenol PTPT06A-10-6P | Corresponding PT configuration | General-duty PT straight plug shown in the physical product photos. Official Amphenol literature lists PT06A with no assigned MS cross-reference. |
| Amphenol PTPT06E-10-6P(SR) | Different rear configuration | Environmental open-wire seal plus strain relief. This is associated with the MS3116F relationship, not the PT06A general-duty configuration. |
| ITT CannonKPT06 | Family reference only | Solder-contact straight-plug family. Obtain the complete part number, service class, finish and rear termination before comparison. |
| Souriau / Eaton851 Series straight plug | Family reference only | A Series I comparison family; exact shell, insert, orientation, rear configuration and finish codes require separate review. |
Reference ordering code
MS / 3116 / A / 10 / 6 / P
Military-style reference prefix used in market and legacy records
Series I solder-contact straight-plug shell style
Market or legacy A-class reference; verify against the controlling drawing
Shell size 10
10-6 insert arrangement with six contacts
Pin contacts; no alternate-rotation suffix shown
PT configuration: PT / 06 / A / 10 / 6 / P. PT identifies the family, 06 the straight-plug shell, A the general-duty backshell, 10-6 the shell and insert, and P pin contacts. Official Amphenol literature does not assign PT06A an MS cross-reference, so use the complete supplier drawing as the controlling document.

Technical Specifications
The table separates the primary search reference from the documented PT configuration. It does not independently certify an official MS cross-reference, QPL status or the supplied item's dimensions and ratings.

Applications
A six-circuit bayonet cable interface can be reviewed for instrumentation, control equipment and maintenance replacement. The actual environment and rear-accessory requirements determine the suitable supplied configuration.
Instrumentation harnesses
Match the 10-6 contact layout to the equipment receptacle and confirm wire size, solder-cup access and keying.
General-duty cable assemblies
Use the PT06A general-duty backshell only where the cable support and environmental requirements are suitable.
Maintenance and BOM replacement
Record the full marking, mating half, finish and rear hardware. Treat MS3116A and PT06A as a review relationship rather than an automatic interchangeability claim.

Buyer Q&A
Concise answers for engineering and procurement review.
What is MS3116A-10-6P?
MS3116A-10-6P is used as a market or legacy reference for a shell-size-10 straight plug with the 10-6 arrangement and six pin solder contacts. Because current Amphenol PT literature does not assign PT06A an official MS cross-reference, the original or supplier drawing should control the review.
Which PT model corresponds to the MS3116A-10-6P search requirement?
PT06A-10-6P is the corresponding general-duty PT configuration used for this sourcing review. It matches the straight-plug style, shell size, insert arrangement and pin gender, but that relationship should not be represented as an official QPL or Amphenol MS cross-reference.
Is PT06E-10-6P(SR) the same product as PT06A-10-6P?
No. PT06A uses the general-duty A backshell. PT06E-10-6P(SR) uses an environmental open-wire seal with strain relief and belongs to the MS3116F comparison relationship. Confirm the rear configuration rather than selecting only by the 10-6 contact layout.
Can ITT Cannon KPT06 or Souriau 851 models be cross-referenced?
They can be reviewed as family-level alternatives, but the complete manufacturer code is required. Shell and insert, contact gender, keying, rear configuration, finish and documentation must all be checked before quotation.
Which mating connector and details should I send for a quote?
Send a socket receptacle with shell size 10, the 10-6 layout and matching orientation, or provide its full number and mating-face photo. Include quantity, wire sizes, cable OD, finish, rear-accessory needs and required documents.
