FAQs
The 85100A2016S50 features a straight backshell with an adaptor and a connector orientation rated as N. This combination provides straightforward field servicing, compatible mating surfaces, and consistent alignment during mating. For installations requiring rapid servicing, the 1/3 bayonet coupling shortens mating cycles and reduces tool time while maintaining a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
The 16 solder cup contacts enable high-density wiring within a compact footprint, improving signal routing and reducing connector sprawl. When combined with aluminium shell construction and cadmium plating, the design supports reliable electrical performance across wide temperature ranges (-40 °C to 125 °C) and harsh vibration, helping to preserve signal integrity in aerospace and defense applications.
Yes. The 85100A2016S50 is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, a recognized standard for military interconnects. Its square flange receptacle configuration, 16-contact layout, and pre-delivered connector compatibility make it well suited for aerospace and defense harness assemblies demanding robust mechanical and electrical performance in demanding environments.
Key regulatory alignments include MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification for military interconnect reliability and REACH compliance for environmental safety. The product uses cadmium plating, which may require considerations under regional cadmium restrictions; users should verify material substitutions if cadmium is restricted in their program.
The combination of MIL-spec qualification, quick-mating 1/3 bayonet coupling, and reliable solder-cup contacts reduces maintenance time and field downtime. This translates to lower lifecycle costs, fewer field failures, and faster repair cycles, delivering a favorable return on investment for programs requiring high availability in aerospace, defense, and rugged industrial settings.
