Eaton 85100A168SW50 Receptacle - MIL-DTL-26482 SI Qualified

MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification is the defining feature of this connector. It delivers aerospace-grade reliability, helping you meet stringent program requirements while reducing qualification cycles and inspection overhead. In practice, engineers specify it for avionics, military rack systems, and rugged industrial panels that endure vibration, temperature shifts, and challenging environmental conditions. The square flange receptacle with straight backshell adaptor and 1/3 bayonet coupling delivers fast, secure mating and a compact panel footprint. The straight backshell simplifies routing and installation, while the bayonet feature speeds mating and reduces operable torque. This combination is ideal for tightly packed control cabinets and equipment bays where space efficiency and reliable locking matter, and it aligns with common Souriau 851 series accessories for quick retrofit. Eight contacts in a single receptacle with socket (female) Solder Cup contacts supports compact, high-density wiring. Delivered with connector and configured for W orientation, this design minimizes field wiring steps and misconnection risk while ensuring robust solder terminations. It’s well suited for mixed signal and low-power power distribution in automation panels, as well as avionics and defense systems where dense connectivity and clean harness routing are critical. Aluminium shell with cadmium plating provides a lightweight, durable enclosure with corrosion protection in many environments. Operating temperatures range from -40 °C to 125 °C, expanding usability across vehicle, industrial, and aircraft applications. Cadmium finishes require market-specific compliance considerations, so be prepared to discuss alternative coatings or cadmium-free options for regions with cadmium restrictions. Delivered with connector, 8 cavities, and a square flange interface simplify inventory planning and installation across projects. The W orientation and square flange receptacle type streamline panel integration, while compatibility with standard Souriau 851 series components keeps spares common and serviceable, supporting a cost-efficient lifecycle. Practical field maintenance benefits include straightforward replacement and reliable mating under vibration.
