FAQs

The 85100A168SZ50 is part of the Eaton Souriau 851 series and uses a square flange receptacle design with 8 solder cup contacts, 1/3 Bayonet coupling, and Z orientation. It mates with compatible Souriau 851 series receptacles and provides consistent interface geometry, enabling reliable panel-to-panel or device-to-cable connections in standardized systems.
This receptacle supports a wide operating temperature from -40 °C to 125 °C, suitable for extreme environments. It is cadmium plated on an aluminium shell and REACH compliant, helping ensure corrosion resistance and regulatory alignment across aerospace and industrial applications.
Yes. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling, robust MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification, and loaded contact design provide reliable mating under vibration. Its compact 41 mm length and 16 shell size support secure retention and consistent electrical performance in aircraft and other vibration-prone platforms.
The straight backshell adaptor aligns with the Z orientation, simplifying mating and panel alignment. Delivered with connector options, it enables straightforward field termination with solder cup contacts, reducing wiring complexity and speeding up serviceability in harsh environments.
Choosing MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified hardware reduces field failures and warranty costs, improving uptime in critical systems. The aluminium shell keeps weight down, the cadmium plating offers corrosion resistance, and the 8-contact configuration supports higher density wiring, delivering lower material costs and easier maintenance over the product lifecycle.
