FAQs

Installation begins with matching the square flange receptacle to a compatible panel cutout, then securing the 16-shell size with the straight backshell adaptor. Use the 1/3 Bayonet coupling for mating, ensuring correct Z orientation. The unit ships with the connector; for field installs, ensure solder cup terminations are properly tinned and inspected for cold joints. Consider Souriau 851 series compatible accessories for added strain relief and environmental sealing.
The 85100A168PZ50 adheres to MIL-DTL-26482 Series II with SI qualification, offering proven performance in demanding environments. Material choices include an aluminium shell with cadmium plating for corrosion resistance, a wide operating temperature range (-40 to 125 °C), and a design that supports reliable solder cup contacts. These features align with aerospace and defense reliability standards and REACH environmental compliance.
Yes. The receptacle operates from -40 °C to 125 °C, supported by an aluminium shell and cadmium plating that offer structural durability and corrosion resistance. This makes it suitable for harsh aerospace, defense, and industrial environments where thermal cycling and exposure to contaminants are common.
Absolutely. The connector specifies Z orientation and a 1/3 Bayonet coupling, designed to ensure quick alignment and secure mating in tight spaces. The straight backshell adaptor further facilitates cable routing and installation in crowded panels, reducing assembly time and improving field serviceability.
Expect higher uptime and lower maintenance costs due to MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification, robust corrosion resistance, and reliable solder cup contacts that simplify field repairs. The light aluminium shell minimizes weight, aiding in system efficiency, while the durable design reduces part replacements in environments with frequent mating cycles and vibration.
