Feature: 6 pin solder cup contacts enable a compact 6-way harness connection, reducing the need for extra junctions and potential failure points. Business Impact: Streamlined harness design lowers assembly time and labor costs while improving signal integrity. Application: Ideal for control panels in aerospace and rugged industrial equipment where space is tight and wiring density matters. Feature: 1/3 bayonet coupling provides quick, secure mating with high vibration resistance. Business Impact: Faster field mating and reduced risk of misalignment during harsh operation, cutting maintenance downtime. Application: Used in equipment subject to vibration and frequent servicing, such as mobile machinery and avionics racks. Feature: Backnut mounting and straight backshell simplify panel installation and alignment. Business Impact: Easier pre-assembly and confident, leak-free panel fits, lowering installation risk. Application: Panel-mounted connectors in compact enclosures and control hubs. Feature: Cadmium plating on an aluminium shell delivers corrosion resistance with minimal weight. Business Impact: Prolonged service life in challenging environments and lower total cost of ownership due to reduced maintenance. Application: Outdoor or corrosive environments in energy, manufacturing, and defense sectors. Feature: Operating temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C ensures reliable performance across extremes. Business Impact: Maintains electrical integrity in cold starts and high-temp operation, reducing outages. Application: Aerospace, rail, and heavy industry where ambient conditions vary widely. Feature: Compact geometry (32.7 mm length, 24.2 mm width/height) and 10 g weight enable dense packaging. Business Impact: Enables higher harness density and lighter assemblies, improving overall system efficiency. Application: Space-constrained control panels and instrument clusters in compact machines.

FAQs
The 85100E1098PW50 uses a square flange receptacle with a backnut and a 1/3 bayonet coupling. For installation, mount the panel, insert the mating connector aligned with the W orientation, engage the bayonet coupling to lock, then secure with the backnut. Ensure solder-cup contacts are properly seated prior to mate-and-hold sequences to maintain integrity.
This part operates from -40 °C to 125 °C, supporting harsh environments. It features six male solder cup contacts, with a cadmium-plated aluminium shell and a copper-based contact geometry designed for reliable soldered connections in tight spaces. The backnut and straight backshell simplify assembly and improve vibration resistance.
Yes. The 85100E1098PW50 is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, designed for rugged, mission-critical connections in aerospace and defense applications. It uses a 1/3 bayonet coupling, backnut mounting, and a square flange receptacle format, meeting stringent military standards while offering regulatory compliance through REACH considerations.
The key qualification is MIL-DTL-26482 SI, which confirms suitability for high-reliability environments. Additionally, the part notes REACH environmental compliance, supporting regulatory alignment for European supply chains. This combination helps ensure procurement meets defense, industrial, and environmental standards while maintaining traceable material specifications.
Cadmium plating and an aluminium shell deliver corrosion resistance with light weight, reducing maintenance needs in harsh environments. The six-contact solder arrangement minimizes connector count and installation time, boosting installation speed and field reliability. Overall, this design translates to lower lifecycle costs through fewer field repairs and extended service intervals.
