Eaton 85100E1418PX50 Receptacle - MIL-DTL-26482 SI Qualified

MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification provides guaranteed mating performance and environmental resistance, reducing field failure rates and warranty costs in aerospace and rugged industrial panels. This translates into predictable life-cycle performance and easier supply chain planning for complex assemblies, where certified interconnects reduce risk during qualification tests and in-service operation. Applications include avionics racks, rugged PLC cabinets, and test benches that demand high integrity. 18 contacts with Solder Cup provide secure, soldered connections that simplify harnessing and PCB integration, accelerating assembly and inspection while lowering rework. The result is improved manufacturing throughput and dependable service in the field, particularly in high-vibration or temperature cycling environments. Compatible with standard harness practices and panel layouts, it supports straightforward installation in existing architectures. Cadmium plating on an Aluminium shell delivers corrosion resistance and robust mechanical protection, extending service life in harsh environments. Operators gain longer replacement intervals and reduced maintenance costs, even in salt spray or humid conditions, while meeting regulatory expectations for material performance. This combination also supports reliable mating and consistent electrical performance across temperature swings. 1/3 Bayonet coupling paired with a Backnut backshell enables quick, secure mating with minimal tools and reduced risk of misalignment. This leads to faster field mating, easier replacement during line downtime, and greater install repeatability across multiple assemblies. The X orientation further simplifies harness routing in constrained panel spaces and aligns with common aerospace and industrial design practices. Operating from -40 °C to 125 °C and REACH-compliant, the connector maintains performance in extreme temperatures and under regulatory scrutiny. Delivered-with-connector options reduce parts count and procurement time, while the aluminium shell and cadmium plating contribute to lower maintenance costs and predictable total cost of ownership for fleets with mixed equipment. Together, these features support dependable, scalable interconnect strategies.
