The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables quick, tool-free mating with strong resistance to vibration, reducing commissioning time and field maintenance. In automation panels and aircraft assemblies, this translates to faster line changeovers and fewer torque-related misalignments. Cadmium plating on an aluminium shell delivers corrosion resistance without added weight, extending service life in dusty or humid environments. Six solder cup contacts simplify harness and PCB integration while ensuring reliable solder joints and consistent electrical performance under thermal cycling. The six-position layout with a compact shell size 10 provides stable mounting and predictable clearance in tight enclosures. Operating from -40 to 125 °C and REACH-compliant construction ensure performance across aerospace, industrial, and harsh environmental applications. Delivered with connector, N orientation, and a straight backshell, this receptacle minimizes compatibility concerns when upgrading existing Souriau 851 series assemblies.

FAQs
Begin by inspecting the square flange panel cutout to ensure the shell size 10 will mount securely. Align the N orientation and 1/3 bayonet coupling, then mate with the corresponding plug. Use the solder cup contacts for attachment to the harness or PCB, applying an appropriate soldering technique to create reliable joints. Finally, verify electrical continuity and mechanical seating, then secure with the supplied connector or adaptor as required.
MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification confirms performance under defined mechanical and environmental stress, including vibration, temperature, and humidity. For the 85100A106S50, this translates to stable mating, sealed interfaces due to cadmium plating, and durable aluminium housings. In practice, you gain long-term reliability in aircraft, industrial automation, and military-grade equipment with reduced field failures.
Yes, this receptacle is part of the Souriau 851 series family and uses a square flange configuration with a 10 shell size, which aligns with many 851 series backshells and mounting options. Verify the mating connector’s contact count (six solder cup positions) and ensure the backshell adaptor matches your enclosure layout for a seamless upgrade path.
The design supports REACH compliance, helping ensure regulatory alignment for chemical safety and environmental impact in European and global supply chains. The cadmium plating is applied to improve corrosion resistance, while the aluminium shell keeps weight down for transport and installation efficiency in demanding environments.
The 85100A106S50 offers quick mating via 1/3 bayonet coupling, which reduces setup and changeover times. The six solder cup contacts simplify wiring and reduce assembly labor, while the robust MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification lowers field failure rates. Over time, this combination improves uptime, lowers maintenance costs, and enhances system reliability in automation and aerospace applications.
