FAQs
Begin by aligning the 16-position square flange receptacle with the mating Souriau 851-series counterpart. Use the 1/3 bayonet coupling for fast engagement, then attach the straight backshell adaptor as required for your harness routing. Ensure the solder cup contacts are clean and tinned prior to tin/lead or lead-free soldering, and verify the W orientation during mating to maintain correct pin-out.
key specs include 16 solder cup contacts, aluminium shell size 20, cadmium plating, operating temperature from -40 °C to 125 °C, and REACH environmental compliance. The design supports high-reliability interconnects in vibration-rich environments, with secure 1/3 bayonet mating and a straight backshell for straightforward installation.
