Eaton 85100A1210PX50 Receptacle - MIL-DTL-26482 SI

MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification ensures aerospace-grade reliability and regulatory compliance. This standard support translates into measurable performance and traceability across harsh environments, reducing qualification risk on new programs and enabling smoother supplier audits. The Eaton Souriau 85100A1210PX50 is purpose-built for 851-series harnesses and mission-critical interfaces in aircraft, missiles, and ground-support equipment. By meeting SI qualification, it withstands strict vibration profiles, temperature swings, and harsh cleaning processes typical of military and aviation operations. Square flange receptacle with adaptor backshell provides robust panel mounting and flexible installation options. The straight backshell angle and X orientation simplify routing in tight avionics bays and control panels, while maintaining a secure, vibration-resistant connection. Quick-mating capabilities reduce assembly time on assembly lines and during field maintenance, improving overall equipment uptime. Cadmium plating offers corrosion protection in coastal or high-humidity environments, extending service life and reducing maintenance cycles. The aluminium shell keeps weight down without sacrificing rigidity, which is critical in movable or portable equipment. The 12-shell size supports compact, dense wiring arrangements while preserving reliable contact alignment. Solder Cup contacts enable straightforward, field-terminated terminations for both harnesses and PCB interfaces. A 10-contact arrangement aligns with common Souriau 851-series layouts, supporting efficient wire routing and future expansion. The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides secure engagement and quick uncoupling, minimizing downtime during inspections or replacements. Delivered with connector options and orientation X, this part integrates easily with existing backplanes, frames, and cable assemblies. The operating temperature range of -40 to 125 °C covers extreme cold starts and hot, high-temperature cycles typical of aerospace and industrial environments. Backed by established supplier quality, it avoids redesign risk and helps maintain project schedules. Industry context shows the 85100A1210PX50's combination of mechanical ruggedness, material choices, and environmental ratings makes it suitable for defense, aviation, and high-vibration industrial systems. Real-world benefits include faster assembly, lower maintenance costs, and more predictable supply continuity across platforms, supporting lower total cost of ownership over the product lifecycle.
