MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified design paired with an aluminium shell and cadmium finish deliver strong mechanical resilience in vibration and corrosion-prone environments. The business impact is improved uptime and reduced maintenance costs, essential for mission-critical aerospace, defense, and industrial automation equipment. The 16 contact positions use solder cup female contacts, allowing robust wire termination and dependable solder joints. Coupled with a 1/3 bayonet mating system and straight backshell adaptor, it delivers quick, repeatable assemblies with straightforward field servicing and precise alignment in constrained spaces. The compact form factor—44 mm length, 36.9 mm width and height, shell size 20, and a weight of 48.5 g—reduces overall harness volume and vehicle weight. This translates to easier routing, lower cable management costs, and compatibility with panel cutouts common in industrial and aerospace panels. Environmental compliance and performance are supported by REACH and the wide operating range of -40 to 125 C. Cadmium plating provides additional corrosion protection, while the straight orientation simplifies routing and mating in difficult installations. Finally, installing and maintaining these connectors is easier when integrating with the Souriau 851 ecosystem. Delivered with connector options and ready-to-mate configurations reduce assembly time and spare-part inventory, improving total cost of ownership in long-life modules.

FAQs
This receptacle is designed for compatibility with the Souriau 851 series, featuring a straight backshell adaptor and X orientation for easy alignment. It uses a 1/3 bayonet coupling and socket (female) solder cup contacts, and arrives with connector accessories to support fast, repeatable field mating. Ensure mating components share the same shell size and cavity count to maintain performance and regulatory compliance.
The unit provides 16 solder cup contacts in a socket (female) configuration, with cadmium plating and an aluminium shell. It operates from -40 °C to 125 °C and adheres to REACH environmental requirements. The 16 cavities are arranged in a 4x4 layout within a 44 mm depth and 36.9 mm square footprint, supporting compact harness design.
Yes. It is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, which is a widely recognized standard for high-reliability military and aerospace connectors. The square flange receptacle uses a durable aluminium shell with cadmium plating for corrosion resistance and a robust 1/3 bayonet coupling, making it well-suited to vibration and environmental extremes typical of aerospace and defense deployments.
Plan for proper mating orientation (X) and mating with an adaptor-backshell setup to ensure alignment. The solder cup contacts require clean, compliant termination for reliable joints. The cadmium plating provides corrosion protection but verify regulatory requirements at your site, as some programs restrict cadmium finishes. Routine inspection and gentle handling will maintain mating integrity across lifecycle operations.
The 85100A2016SX50 consolidates 16 circuits in a compact 44 mm depth, reducing harness complexity and panel footprint while delivering reliable electrical performance across a wide temperature range. The aluminium shell keeps weight down, cadmium plating extends environmental protection, and MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification reduces risk in long-term programs, delivering lower total cost of ownership and easier supply chain planning.
