Feature → Business Impact → Application: 61 contacts in a compact 44 mm length and 43.1 mm width deliver high-density interconnects, enabling more signals per assembly and reducing panel real estate in control cabinets and avionics bays. This translates to lower wiring complexity, easier maintenance, and improved signal integrity in automated systems used in oil & gas, manufacturing, and aviation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Solder Cup contacts with a Socket (Female) gender support reliable, field-soldered connections, speeding assembly and simplifying on-site repairs in harsh environments where field servicing is necessary. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1/3 Bayonet coupling provides secure mating under vibration and shock, increasing uptime in aircraft lounges, ground support equipment, and industrial robotics where multi-connection robustness is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cadmium plating on an Aluminium shell offers corrosion resistance with light weight, lowering total cost of ownership in salt spray zones and high-humidity plants, ideal for offshore platforms and automotive end-of-line tests. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Straight backshell with adaptor options simplifies cable routing and enclosure integration, reducing installation time and the risk of misalignment during panel assembly in large automation installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 24 shell size and square flange receptacle design ensure standardized mounting, facilitating compatibility across the Souriau 851 series and minimizing part diversity in aerospace and defense programs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Environmental compliance (REACH) supports regulatory acceptance in global supply chains, helping procurement teams meet corporate sustainability goals while maintaining performance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating range -40 to 125 °C supports deployment in extreme environments, from cold start conditions to high-temperature aircraft compartments, enabling year-round operation in diverse climates.

FAQs
This receptacle uses a straight backshell with an adaptor option and a 1/3 bayonet coupling for secure mating under vibration. It delivers 61 solder cup contacts in a 44 mm long, 24-shell-size square flange footprint. When installing, mount on the appropriate panel pattern, connect the pre-delivered connector, and route cables for a clean, reliable interconnect in aerospace and industrial environments.
Yes. The 85100A2461SX50 is part of the Souriau 851 series and is specified as MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, ensuring compatibility with other MIL-DTL-26482 interfaces. Its square flange receptacle design and 61-contact configuration align with common Souriau 851 family mating connectors, simplifying design integration and on-site replacements.
The 1/3 Bayonet coupling provides secure engagement, reducing mating loosening under vibration. The aluminium shell with cadmium plating adds mechanical rigidity and corrosion resistance, while the square flange mounting supports stable alignment. These features collectively support reliable performance in aircraft, ground support equipment, and automated production lines subjected to dynamic loads.
Yes. The product listing specifies REACH environmental conditions, and cadmium plating is implemented with corrosion resistance considerations. When integrating this connector, confirm any regional cadmium restrictions in your project scope and assess long-term compliance with internal sustainability policies alongside REACH requirements.
The MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification and Souriau 851 series compatibility reduce part variety and simplify spares inventories. The robust design lowers field failures, minimizes downtime, and extends service intervals in harsh environments. This translates to lower lifecycle costs, more predictable maintenance planning, and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in automated manufacturing and defense programs.
