FAQs
The 85100A168PY50 is a MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified square flange receptacle with a straight adaptor and 1/3 Bayonet coupling. It mates with compatible Souriau/SI-class plugs and features male solder cup contacts. This combination ensures reliable, vibration-resistant connections suitable for aerospace, defense, and industrial equipment where MIL-spec interfaces are required.
It provides eight solder cup contacts within an aluminium shell size 16, with a length of 41 mm and a square flange receptacle design. The contact arrangement is 8 cavities, operating from -40 °C to 125 °C, with cadmium plating for corrosion resistance and a straight backshell. The coupling is 1/3 Bayonet for quick, secure mating.
Yes. It is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, designed for high-reliability interconnects in aerospace and defense environments. The aluminum shell provides weight reduction, the cadmium plating offers corrosion protection, and the 1/3 Bayonet coupling supports rapid, vibration-resistant mating—critical factors for airborne and field-deployed systems.
The straight adaptor backs the receptacle in a manner consistent with vertical panel mounting, while the Y orientation defines contact alignment for correct mating with the corresponding plug. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling enables quick, tool-free engagement, reducing maintenance time and minimizing the risk of misalignment during assembly or field servicing.
This connector is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, reflecting military-spec interoperability. It also complies with REACH environmental regulations and uses cadmium plating for corrosion resistance. These certifications support regulatory compliance and long-term reliability in harsh operating environments, making it suitable for regulated industries and mission-critical deployments.
