"Feature → Business Impact → Application" pattern applied across the key specs of this connector yields tangible outcomes in the real world. MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification ensures conformance to a stringent interconnect standard, enhancing reliability in harsh environments and reducing warranty costs over the product lifecycle. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling provides quick mating and robust resistance to vibration, which translates to shorter downtime during assembly and servicing on factory floors and airborne platforms alike. Cadmium plating delivers corrosion resistance in outdoor and corrosive industrial settings, extending service intervals and lowering maintenance expenditure. An aluminium shell size 16 offers a lighter weight solution without sacrificing strength, ideal for compact equipment and aerospace instrumentation where weight budgets matter. Eight solder cup contacts support dense harnessing while maintaining robust electrical performance, enabling compact, high-density interconnects for complex control systems. Delivered with connector and a Y orientation streamline installation and spare-part planning, reducing configuration errors and simplifying field swaps in mixed fleets.

FAQs
Plan for mating with compatible Souriau 851 series connectors and ensure proper orientation (Y) and backshell configuration. Use the straight adaptor for a direct path in constrained spaces, and verify solder cup terminations are correctly crimped or soldered to minimize impedance and ensure reliable electrical contact under vibration.
The connector features eight solder cup contacts in a square flange receptacle with an aluminium shell size 16. It uses 1/3 Bayonet coupling, cadmium plating, and supports operate temperatures from -40 °C to 125 °C. It is delivered loaded with contacts and includes a straight adaptor with connector option.
Yes. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling provides secure engagement and vibration resistance, while the straight adaptor and aluminium shell contribute to structural integrity in dynamic environments. Proper installation and mating with compatible components are essential to maintain performance in high-vibration applications.
The 85100AC168SY50 is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, offering a rigorous aerospace-style qualification. It is REACH compliant for environmental safety. These certifications support high-reliability projects in industrial, aerospace, and defence-related applications.
The MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification, robust corrosion resistance from cadmium plating, and reliable solder cup terminations reduce downtime and warranty costs. Its compatibility with existing Souriau 851 hardware simplifies inventory and spares, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
