Eaton 85100AC168P50 Receptacle - MIL-DTL-26482 SI
Part Number: 85100AC168P50
Quick Summary
Eaton Souriau 85100AC168P50 Receptacle is a MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified connector for rugged avionics and industrial assemblies. Engineers often struggle with MIL-spec reliability, compatibility with legacy harnesses, and downtime due to field repair challenges. MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification, REACH compliance, and a wide operating range from -40 to 125 °C help ensure dependable performance in vibration-rich environments. Choosing this square flange receptacle with an aluminium shell and cadmium finish accelerates installation, simplifies maintenance, and supports scalable automation across industrial networks. In practice, the combination of a straight backshell adaptor, 1/3 bayonet coupling, and solder cup contacts reduces harness complexity and enables faster servicing and spare-part planning for manufacturing and field operations.
