Eaton 85100A168P50 Receptacle - SI Qualified
Part Number: 85100A168P50
Quick Summary
Eaton Souriau 851 series MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified receptacle delivers rugged, high-reliability connectivity for harsh-environment equipment. Engineers often struggle with vibration-induced wear, corrosion, and field-service challenges that drive maintenance costs and downtime. This design achieves MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification and REACH environmental compliance, supporting durable operation across -40 °C to 125 °C and salt spray environments. By pairing an aluminium backshell with cadmium plating, it resists corrosion while keeping weight low. The square flange receptacle's 8-pin, solder-cup contacts and 1/3 bayonet coupling simplify mating, alignment, and field installation, enabling faster harness assembly and maintenance in aerospace, defense, and rugged industrial automation.

FAQs
The 85100A168P50 is designed as a MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified square flange receptacle with an aluminium backshell and 1/3 bayonet coupling. It accepts eight solder-cup contacts and is intended for use in aerospace, defense, and rugged industrial control panels. Ensure mating connectors follow the 851 series specifications and use the straight adaptor configuration for space-constrained assemblies.
The connector operates from -40 °C to 125 °C and is REACH compliant. Cadmium plating on an aluminium shell provides corrosion resistance, supporting reliable operation in harsh environments such as humidity, salt spray, and vibration, typical of aircraft and field equipment.
With eight solder-cup contacts pre-loaded and a 1/3 bayonet coupling, mating is quick and repeatable, while field servicing is aided by the straight backshell adaptor and square flange receptacle geometry. Delivered with connector options further reduce assembly steps, making panel installations faster and more reliable in tight spaces.
The product is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, indicating suitability for stringent military and aerospace applications. It also complies with REACH environmental requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment for European supply chains and high-reliability environments.
By delivering MIL-grade reliability, corrosion resistance, and quick-mate capabilities, the 85100A168P50 reduces field maintenance time and unexpected downtime. Its lightweight aluminium shell lowers overall system weight, contributing to fuel efficiency in aerospace and long-term cost savings in rugged industrial deployments.
