Eaton 85100E1626SW50 Receptacle - MIL-DTL-26482 Qualified

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 85100E1626SW50 uses MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification, delivering proven performance in military and aerospace interconnects; this translates to lower field failure rates and reduced maintenance cycles on mission-critical equipment used in automation and control systems. In addition, its 26-position layout with a 1/3 bayonet coupling enables rapid, secure mating, cutting assembly time and minimizing downtime during panel integrations in industrial plants and aircraft systems. Cadmium plating on an aluminium shell provides enhanced corrosion resistance, extending service life in corrosive environments and reducing the total cost of ownership for outdoor or coastal installations. The backnut backshell configuration offers robust strain relief and environmental protection, simplifying maintenance while preserving electrical integrity. Solder Cup contacts, Socket (Female), and Loaded contact delivery ensure a reliable, soldered termination suitable for power and signal paths in high-density harnesses. With a compact form factor (32.7 mm length, 31.3 mm width, 31.3 mm height) and a weight of 30.2 g, it fits tightly into space-constrained panels without compromising performance. The REACH-compliant aluminium shell and wide operating temperature range (-40 to 125 °C) address common industry objections about regulatory compliance and temperature resilience, enabling confidence in long-term deployments across aerospace, rail, and automation sectors. Compatibility with standard Eaton Souriau 851-series connectors and the included connector option facilitates seamless integration into existing systems, improving time-to-field and reducing risk in supplier transitions.
