FAQs
The 85100A2016PW50 uses a 1/3 bayonet coupling on a straight backshell with an adaptor, and a W oriented connector. For installation, align the bayonet lugs with the receptacle and rotate to lock. The aluminium shell keeps weight down while maintaining rigidity, and the solder cup contacts simplify field terminations. Ensure the mating connector is the Souriau 851 series counterpart to guarantee proper alignment and grounding.
This receptacle supports 16 contacts in a 16-cavity layout, with cadmium plating for corrosion resistance and an aluminium shell sized to 20. It operates from -40 °C to 125 °C and is designed for MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification. Replacing or upgrading similar components in harsh environments helps maintain signal integrity and reliability under vibration and high humidity conditions.
Yes. The Eaton Souriau 85100A2016PW50 is a MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified square flange receptacle from the 851 series, which is widely used in aerospace, defense, and rugged industrial equipment. Its cadmium plating and aluminium shell support corrosion resistance and weight efficiency, while the 16-position layout accommodates complex harnessing common in aircraft and military vehicles.
The connector is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified and REACH compliant, aligning with stringent military and environmental standards. The cadmium plating provides corrosion protection suitable for harsh environments. Always verify regional procurement requirements, as some markets restrict cadmium usage and may require alternatives or additional certifications.
Thanks to its robust MIL-spec qualification, durable aluminium shell, and 1/3 bayonet mating, the 85100A2016PW50 reduces field maintenance time and failure rates. Solder Cup contacts simplify field terminations, lowering repair costs, while the 16-contact layout minimizes patching and spares inventory. Overall, you gain higher reliability, faster readiness, and lower total cost of ownership in demanding environments.
