The socket section of an AN/MS connector can be installed on either side of a circuit; it does not make a difference.
AN/MS connectors are commonly used in aviation and military applications. They consist of a plug and a socket section, which are designed to securely connect electrical circuits. The socket section is the part of the connector that receives the plug.
In most cases, the choice of whether to install the socket section on the power supply side or the ground side of the circuit is determined by the specific requirements and design considerations of the electrical system.
There may be situations where it is preferable to have the socket section on the power supply side to ensure a secure and reliable connection to the power source. In other cases, it may be more suitable to have the socket section on the ground side, especially if the grounding connection is critical for safety or interference suppression purposes.
Ultimately, the decision of where to install the socket section is based on the specific application and system requirements. It is important to carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions and any relevant standards or specifications when installing AN/MS connectors to ensure proper and reliable operation of the electrical circuits
