FAQs

The 85100AC168PZ50 is a Souriau 851 series square flange receptacle designed to MIL-DTL-26482 specifications and SI qualification. It uses a straight backshell with Z orientation and Cadmium plating on an Aluminium shell (size 16), ensuring compatibility with other MIL-DTL-26482 components while supporting quick, secure mating in rugged applications.
The 85100AC168PZ50 provides eight positions, i.e., eight cavities, with male solder cup contacts loaded into the receptacle. This configuration supports compact eight-way signaling or power paths suitable for industrial control and aerospace subsystems, while maintaining robust electrical performance under demanding conditions.
Yes. The connector operates from -40 °C to 125 °C and carries MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification, indicating suitability for aerospace, rail, and harsh industrial environments. The cadmium plating and aluminium shell further enhance corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for rugged equipment and field deployments.
The product specification includes a connector accessory option with the connector delivered, and it features a Z-oriented configuration. This combination supports straightforward installation into panel mounts and aligns mating interfaces with its 1/3 bayonet coupling for efficient assembly on site.
The straight backshell adaptor simplifies panel mounting and mating geometry, enabling quicker assembly and fewer alignment issues during installation. Paired with the square flange receptacle, it delivers a robust, space-efficient interface ideal for compact control panels, avionics racks, and industrial enclosures where reliable, fast field assembly matters.
