FAQs
To install the 85100AC168PY50, mount the square flange receptacle to a panel using the straight adaptor and aligned backshell. Ensure the panel cutout supports a 51 mm depth and 31.3 mm square footprint. Use the 1/3 bayonet coupling to secure the mating connector, then terminate the solder cup pins to the harness with proper solder technique.
The 85100AC168PY50 features eight solder cup contacts in a pin (male) configuration, cadmium plating, and an aluminium shell. It has a square flange receptacle, 51 mm length, 31.3 mm width and height, operating temperatures from -40 °C to 125 °C, and uses a 1/3 bayonet coupling with a straight backshell. Delivered with connector assistance is included.
Yes. It carries MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification and REACH compliance, which supports use in regulated aerospace and industrial settings. The aluminium shell and cadmium plating provide durable environmental protection, and the -40 to 125 °C operating range accommodates wide temperature swings typical in aerospace and heavy automation environments.
Connector specifications indicate the unit is delivered with the connector, and the configuration includes a straight backshell adaptor and 1/3 bayonet coupling for straightforward mating. This setup simplifies procurement and installation, reducing the need for additional component sourcing during system integration.
Maintain reliability by using proper soldering techniques to avoid overheating and cold joints, inspect for signs of corrosion on cadmium-plated contacts, and protect assembly from corrosive environments when possible. Regular inspection during preventive maintenance should focus on contact integrity, mating alignment, and ensuring the 1/3 bayonet coupling remains secure to prevent vibration-induced wear.
