Feature → Business Impact → Application: MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification ensures mission-critical reliability and regulatory compliance, reducing risk in aerospace and defense assemblies. In practice, this translates to fewer field failures and predictable performance across vibration and temperature cycles, enabling streamlined qualification testing and safer product life cycles. Application includes aircraft wiring harnesses and rugged industrial automation where SIL-like reliability is required without full aviation-grade enclosure. Feature → 16 solder cup contacts provide robust, high-integrity signal and power pathways; this reduces contact resistance drift and simplifies installation in compact panels. Application: complex sensor arrays and control networks in automated facilities benefit from secure, vibration-tolerant connections. Feature → Cadmium plating delivers enhanced corrosion resistance; combined with a lightweight aluminum shell, this lowers maintenance and replacement costs in harsh environments. Application: outdoor or offshore equipment where salt spray and humidity are concerns. Feature → 1/3 bayonet coupling with straight adaptor supports rapid mating and precise alignment; installation crews gain time savings and repeatable assembly. Application: field service and production lines requiring quick, repeatable connector mating. Feature → Square flange receptacle with Y orientation supports consistent panel mounting and connector alignment; reduces rework and improves interchangeability within the Souriau 851 series ecosystem. Application: modular electrical cabinets and aerospace harnesses where standardized interfaces are essential.

FAQs

The 85100A2016PY50 uses a square flange receptacle with an adaptor and a 1/3 bayonet coupling, oriented for Y-side mating. It supports straightforward panel mounting through standard Souriau 851 series interfaces and is designed for quick alignment and secure attachment, reducing installation time and rework in tight or crowded panels.
MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification ensures structural integrity, environmental sealing performance, and electrical reliability under vibration, temperature extremes, and moisture exposure. For this receptacle, that translates to consistent mating integrity from -40 °C to 125 °C, compatibility with aerospace and defense standards, and reduced risk of field failures in demanding applications.
Yes. The 85100A2016PY50 is part of the Souriau 851 series and uses standard 851 series interfaces, including the square flange receptacle configuration, bayonet coupling, and aluminum shell. Compatibility across the family enables modular harnessing, simplified spares, and scalable panel design without sacrificing performance or form factor.
Cadmium plating provides excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in challenging environments, contributing to longer service life. REACH compliance ensures chemical safety and regulatory alignment for components used in European and global markets. Together, they support durable operation in challenging industrial, aerospace, and defense settings while maintaining environmental responsibility.
Installation is streamlined by the straight adaptor and 1/3 bayonet coupling, reducing labor time and risk of misalignment. The 16 solder cup contacts offer reliable connectivity with fewer contact failures, while the aluminum shell minimizes weight. Together, these factors lower maintenance costs, decrease downtime, and improve overall equipment effectiveness in automated systems and combat-ready platforms.
