* MIL-DTL-83723 supersedes MIL-C-83723. Pyle-National Series of MIL-DTL-83723 is also offered by Amphenol.; see 83723 Pyle section of this catalog.
This series provides many choices within the range
of a medium sized, environmentally resistant
circular connector. With three coupling style choices
- bayonet, threaded and quick-disconnect - the
versatility of this family makes it increasingly
popular for panel mount, box mount and line-to-line
applications in aircraft. For general duty
environmentally resistant requirements, this family
of connectors provides a wide range of
interconnection solutions.
DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS
Recommended operating voltage to 600 VAC •
(RMS) at sea level
Complete environmental sealing includes •individual contact seals and a silicone elastomer
interfacial seal with raised barriers around each
pin, a shell-to-shell seal and an insert-to-shell
seal. Sealing over a wide range of wire diame ters
is assured by a triple-webbed grommet design
Captive coupling nut prevents tampering, while a •
reduced coupling ring ramp allows easier mating
Incorporates crimp rear release contacts in sizes •
12, 16 and 20; contact arrangements accept 2 to
61 circuits
Contacts conform to SAE AS39029** and use •
standard qualified rear-release type plastic tools
Insertion and removal of contacts from the rear •of the connector assures no damage to the front
that might affect the sealing characteristics
Grommets are constructed of tear-resistant •
elastomer and experience no degradation when
exposed to a broad range of fluids
Closed entry socket side of the insert is designed •
with a lead-in chamfer and a hard face that will
accept a pin contact bent within pre-established
limits
MS and Commercial versions available•
Alternate positioning available•
Aluminum shells with black anodized, cadmium •
or electroless nickel nish options; passivated
stainless steel shells are also available
**SAE AS39029 supersedes MIL-DTL-39029

Please note that the electrical data given is not an establishment of electrical
safety factors. This is left entirely in the designer’s hands as he can best
determine which peak voltage, switching surges, transients, etc. can be
expected in a partic ular circuit.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE
Classes A, G and R: –65°C (–85°F) to 200°C (392°F)
Class W: –65°C to 175°C
ENVIRONMENTAL SEAL
Wired, mated connectors with the specied accessory
attached will meet the altitude immersion test specied in
MIL-DTL-83723.
DURABILITY
Minimum of 500 mating cycles.
SHOCK AND VIBRATION REQUIREMENTS
Wired, mated connectors shall not be damaged, nor shall
there be a current interruption longer than one microsecond
when subjected to the following:
SHOCK: One shock in each of the three major axes, having a
100g peak for a six millisecond duration (half-sine pulse).
VIBRATION: Twelve hours of random vibration having a
range of 10 to 2,000 Hz with a .06 inch double amplitude
(10-55 Hz) and a 20g peak level (55-2,000 Hz).
The following is a quick reference chart for use in determining
either the military designation or the commercial Amphenol®/
Matrix® designation number of MIL-DTL-83723 connectors.

Connectors with these insert arrangements should be
ordered by commercial part number only.
Shell size 28 is available in threaded coupling connectors
only.
* Consult Amphenol Aerospace for availability of
arrangement 22-39.
See how to order for bayonet type connectors on page
127, how to order for threaded on page 130, and how to
order for quick-disconnect type connectors on page 134.
Insert arrangements are per MIL-STD-1554.
To avoid cross-plugging problems in
applications requiring the use of more than
one connector of the same size and
arrange ment, alternate keying positions are
available as indicated in the chart below. The
diagram shows the engaging view of a
receptacle shell with keyways. Plug shells
would be the opposite of this diagram.
In the “alternate keying positions”
(positions 6, 7, 8, 9 and Y), the minor keys/
keyways are positioned with reference to
mas ter key/keyway as indicated in the
keying position table.

Alternate positioning is also available with the
rotation of the insert. The diagram
shows the pin insert mating face. The
center-line of the shell in the normal
insert position (position N) coincides
with the center-line of the master key/
keyway in the shell. In alternate
rotations, (positions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5),
the insert rotates relative to the center-
line of the key/keyway of the shell. See
E° call out on diagram and the table.
The socket insert is rotated clockwise,
and the pin insert is rotated counter-
clockwise.
