Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 85100AC82PX50 uses a square flange receptacle with an aluminium shell and cadmium plating to maximize mechanical durability while maintaining low weight, reducing total system mass and maintenance cycles in airborne and land-based equipment. This translates to lower lifecycle costs and longer service intervals on mission-critical platforms. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides quick mating and secure retention, shortening assembly time on production lines and in-field maintenance, which is essential for tight schedules in industrial automation and defense subsystems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Eight contact positions across two cavities equip engineers to route multiple signals or power lines through a single trusted connector, improving harness simplicity and reducing interconnect complexity in complex machines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Solder Cup contact type enables straightforward PCB attachment, minimizing rework and enabling reliable solder joints in rugged environments where vibration is common. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The straight backshell adaptor and X orientation simplify installation in constrained spaces, allowing more forgiving torque, alignment, and mating while maintaining proper polarisation in 851 series assemblies. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating temperature from -40 °C to 125 °C and environmental REACH compliance deliver dependable operation across harsh industrial settings, ensuring conformity without sacrificing performance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cadmium plating and a compact 8-shell size contribute to reduced corrosion risk and compact packaging, supporting lightweight, robust interconnects ideal for aerospace and heavy machinery. These design choices collectively reduce retrofit time, support compliant sourcing, and improve overall system reliability in real-world deployment.

FAQs
Begin by confirming the straight backshell adaptor is correctly oriented for X alignment. The 1/3 bayonet coupling allows quick mating; ensure the solder cup contacts align with the PCB pads and that the connector is fully seated before locking with the mate. Delivered with connector features simplify procurement and reduces assembly steps on the line.
The unit provides 8 electrical contacts across 2 cavities, housed in an aluminium shell size 8 with cadmium plating. It measures 48 mm in length and 21 mm in height and width, supports a operating temperature range from -40 °C to 125 °C, and uses solder cup contact type for PCB wiring, delivering robust interconnect performance.
Yes. The design includes a straight backshell adaptor, 1/3 bayonet coupling, and a durable aluminium shell with cadmium plating, all contributing to secure mating and resistance to vibration. The -40 °C to 125 °C operating range further supports reliability in harsh environments common to industrial automation and defense equipment.
The connector is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, offering a proven military-grade interconnect standard. It also complies with REACH environmental requirements, helping ensure regulatory alignment for supply chains and end-use in regions with strict environmental rules.
The X orientation ensures proper alignment and polarity in tight installations, reducing mis-mating risk. The connector is delivered with the necessary accessories, simplifying installation and enabling quicker deployment in assembly lines and field retrofits for aerospace and industrial applications.
