FAQs
The 85100AC1418SZ50 uses a straight backshell with a Z orientation and 1/3 bayonet coupling, paired with a square flange receptacle. It is delivered with a connector option and features socket (female) Solder Cup contacts. This combination supports secure mating, straightforward panel mounting, and compatibility with existing Souriau 851 series interfaces.
MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification ensures interoperability across military-grade connectors, providing proven performance in shock, vibration, and environmental extremes. For aerospace and defense programs, this reduces integration risk, streamlines supplier qualification, and supports long-term availability and traceability in critical systems.
Yes. The receptacle supports an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 125 °C, enabling deployment in demanding environments such as engine bays, outdoor equipment, and factory floors where temperature fluctuations are common.
Solder Cup contacts in the 18-contact arrangement require careful pad design and controlled soldering to avoid tombstoning and cold joints. Use proper strain relief on cables, ensure correct polarity with the Z orientation, and follow standard reflow or hand-soldering practices to maximize reliability and ease of maintenance.
The 85100AC1418SZ50 is REACH compliant, aligning with environmental regulatory expectations. For maintenance, inspect for corrosion, clean with compatible solvents, and verify the integrity of the cadmium-plated finish. Regular inspection of mating interfaces and ensuring connectors remain free of contamination will help preserve performance over service life.
