FAQs
When wiring the 85100AC106PW50, ensure clean, corrosion-free solder joints and proper strain relief for the 6-pin solder cup contacts. Use appropriate flux and solder alloy compatible with cadmium plating, and verify that the backshell adaptor is fully seated to maintain environmental sealing and mechanical retention during vibration testing.
The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides a quick, positive interlock that speeds mate/demate operations without tools. This reduces on-site installation time, minimizes panel access challenges, and lowers the risk of misalignment, helping maintenance teams perform rapid swaps in tight enclosures while preserving connector integrity.
Yes. The 85100AC106PW50 is designed to be compatible with Souriau 851 series backplanes and related accessories. This compatibility supports scalable harness designs, simplifies procurement, and enables consistent performance across mixed configurations in aerospace and industrial applications.
The receptacle operates from -40 °C to 125 °C, covering wide thermal swings typical in aerospace and heavy industrial environments. It is cadmium-plated for corrosion protection and REACH compliant, aligning with environmental and regulatory expectations for durable, long-life connector assemblies.
Maintenance benefits include reduced field failures due to robust mating and corrosion protection, faster servicing with the bayonet coupling, and compatibility with 851 series accessories for standardized spare parts. The result is lower lifecycle costs, shorter downtime, and predictable performance in mission-critical systems.
