FAQs
The 85100A2016SZ50 is designed for Souriau 851 series systems and MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified assemblies. It accepts 16 solder cup contacts within a square flange receptacle, uses a straight adaptor backshell, and is oriented for a Z mating interface, making it compatible with compatible ECUs, harnesses, and panels designed for this form factor.
Key specs include 16 contacts, 1/3 Bayonet coupling, cadmium plating on an aluminium shell, shell size 20, and 44 mm length with 36.9 mm height and width. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 125 °C, with contact delivery loaded and socket (female) contacts. Layout is 16-position, supporting compact but fully populated harnesses.
Yes. It carries MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification for rugged reliability in demanding conditions and REACH environmental compliance for regulatory safety. While cadmium plating offers corrosion protection, regulatory considerations in some regions may affect cadmium usage, so verify regional requirements before deployment.
The backshell is straight with an adaptor type, and the connector orientation is Z to align mating interfaces precisely. Delivered with the connector, it supports straightforward field assembly, reduced misalignment risk, and quicker mating in tight spaces, which is especially important in avionics panels or compact industrial enclosures.
Common applications include military and aerospace harness assemblies, rugged industrial equipment, and control panels requiring 16-position interconnects in constrained spaces. Its square flange receptacle design, 1/3 Bayonet coupling, and environmental resilience make it suitable for applications where reliability, vibration resistance, and long lifecycle performance are critical.
