MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification ensures rugged reliability in critical environments, reducing field failures and maintenance costs. By aligning with Souriau 851 series, the 85100AC2016PY50 offers consistent mating performance and interchangeability across programs, supporting aerospace, defense, and industrial automation projects. The 16 solder cup contacts within a 53 mm length deliver high channel density while conserving panel space, enabling compact harnessing and weight savings. This translates to faster assembly times and lower wiring complexity on aircraft, military vehicles, and heavy equipment. The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides secure engagement with quick mating, improving vibration resistance and reducing downtime during field maintenance. Cadmium plating on an aluminium shell delivers corrosion resistance with a lighter footprint, while REACH compliance helps meet regulatory expectations in global supply chains. The backshell adaptor and Y orientation enhance installation flexibility, simplifying panel layouts and reducing the risk of misorientation. With a 36.9 mm width and height and a 51.6 g weight, the connector fits tight enclosures without compromising performance, while being delivered loaded with contacts to accelerate integration and testing.

FAQs
The 85100AC2016PY50 uses a straight backshell adaptor and 1/3 bayonet coupling within a square flange receptacle format. It is delivered with the connector and is compatible with the Souriau 851 series ecosystem, including the aluminium shell and size 20 backshell configuration. This enables straightforward panel mounting and reliable mating in confined spaces, reducing assembly time and risk of misalignment.
Key specs include 16 solder cup contacts across 16 cavities, a 53 mm product length, 36.9 mm width, 36.9 mm height, and a weight of 51.6 g. The connector uses a cadmium plating, aluminium shell, and supports operating temperatures from -40 °C to 125 °C. It is a square flange receptacle with a straight backshell and Y orientation, delivered loaded with contacts.
Yes. It is certified MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, a standard widely used in aerospace and defense for high-reliability connectors. The 16-contact arrangement, robust cadmium-plated aluminium shell, and wide operating temperature range (-40 to 125 °C) support demanding environments and mission-critical equipment, delivering consistent performance and interchangeability across programs.
The 85100AC2016PY50 carries MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification for reliability and compatibility with military-standard assemblies. It also features REACH environmental compliance, reflecting adherence to regulatory requirements for cadmium-containing components. The combination of these certifications helps streamline procurement and regulatory acceptance in global supply chains.
The connector is delivered with the assembly ready to mate, reducing assembly steps. Pre-loaded solder cup contacts simplify wiring, while the straight backshell adaptor and 1/3 bayonet coupling enable quick mating and secure connections even in vibration-prone environments. This translates to shorter downtime, easier field replacement, and lower total cost of ownership in end-user systems.
