FAQs
To install, align the square flange receptacle with the mating connector, engage the 1/3 bayonet coupling, and rotate to secure. Use the straight backshell adaptor to simplify panel routing, and ensure the X orientation is correct for the harness layout. The contacts are pre-loaded as male solder cup, ready for field terminations.
This connector supports 16 solder cup, pin-type contacts in a single 16-position layout. The aluminium shell size is 20 with cadmium plating, providing robust mechanical and corrosion resistance. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 125 °C, making it suitable for demanding environments while maintaining signal integrity and mechanical reliability.
Yes. The 85100A2016PX50 is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified and REACH compliant, with a square flange receptacle design and a 1/3 bayonet coupling for secure mating under vibration. Its aluminum shell and cadmium plating deliver durability in aerospace, defense, and rugged industrial automation applications where temperature and environmental exposure are critical.
The receptacle is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, providing a recognized military-spec pedigree. It also aligns with REACH regulatory requirements for environmental compliance. The combination of cadmium plating, aluminium construction, and the specified operating range supports regulatory readiness and supplier qualification in regulated industries.
Durable materials (cadmium plating, aluminium shell) and a robust 1/3 bayonet mating mechanism reduce maintenance schedules and rework due to mis-mates. The high-density 16-position design enables more compact harnesses, improving installation speed and system reliability, which translates to lower total cost of ownership over the equipment’s lifecycle.
