FAQs
The 85100AC168SW50 is a MIL-DTL-26482 compliant square flange receptacle in the Souriau line, featuring 8 solder cup contacts and a 1/3 bayonet coupling. It aligns with standard MIL-DTL-26482 SI-qualified components, ensuring reliable mating with compatible plugs and robust performance in vibration-prone environments.
With a straight backshell adaptor and a square flange design, the 85100AC168SW50 enables straightforward panel mounting and cable routing. The 51 mm length and 31.3 mm width/height keep connectors compact, while the W orientation and loaded contact configuration streamline harness design and field assembly, reducing installation time and errors.
This receptacle excels in aerospace, robotics, and industrial equipment due to its MIL-spec pedigree, wide operating temperature (-40 °C to 125 °C), and cadmium plating for corrosion resistance. Its eight-contact configuration supports multi-channel power and signal needs in compact, high-vibration environments.
The 85100AC168SW50 carries MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification and REACH environmental compliance, with cadmium plating for durability. These certifications support regulatory requirements in aerospace, defense, and automated industrial applications, ensuring long-term maintainability and supply chain confidence.
The robust aluminium shell with cadmium plating, plus solder cup contacts and secure 1/3 bayonet coupling, reduces contact resistance drift and wear, lowering maintenance frequency. Its reliability in wide temperature ranges minimizes downtime, delivering favorable total cost of ownership in programs with strict MIL-spec and environmental requirements.
