Eaton 85100E168PY50 Receptacle - MIL-DTL-26482 SI Qualified
Part Number: 85100E168PY50
Quick Summary
The Eaton Souriau 851 series MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified receptacle delivers rugged, solder-capable connections for aerospace, defense, and industrial control enclosures. Engineers often confront retrofit delays when compatible connectors are scarce or environmental specs clash with existing hardware. This part is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified and REACH compliant, with cadmium plating on an aluminium shell for enhanced corrosion resistance. By standardizing on this square flange receptacle with eight solder cup contacts, manufacturers gain faster assembly, predictable performance, and improved supply chain resilience. The combination of backnut fastening and a 1/3 bayonet coupling minimizes field service time while supporting reliable, high-integrity, robust connections.

MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification aligns with strict aerospace and defense standards, reducing qualification timelines and risk while enabling broad mating compatibility across equipment. Business impact includes faster program readiness and supplier leverage in RFQ processes; ideal for aerospace enclosures and rugged control panels where reliability is non-negotiable. The square flange receptacle form factor supports compact, panel-mount installations in tight spaces. Cadmium plating on an aluminium shell provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments, translating to longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs for aircraft, ground vehicles, and industrial automation deployments. The backnut option paired with straight backshell and a 1/3 bayonet coupling enables quick, secure field mating with reduced torque and vibration wear, minimizing downtime during integration. Eight solder cup contacts offer robust, low-resistance terminations for power and signal lines, enhancing EMI performance and current handling in demanding applications. Y orientation supports proper connector alignment during panel fabrication, while the delivered-with-connector option streamlines installation and reduces integration risk for OEMs and integrators.

FAQs
The 85100E168PY50 is a MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified square flange receptacle with eight solder cup contacts and a backnut. Its aluminium shell and cadmium plating provide corrosion resistance, while the Y orientation and 1/3 bayonet coupling support reliable mating in tight panel layouts. This combination ensures broad compatibility with existing MIL-DTL-26482 assemblies and simplifies design reuse across programs.
Backnut fastening and the 1/3 bayonet coupling enable quick, secure field mating with reduced torque requirements, minimizing installation time and wear on the mating interface. This results in faster panel assembly, easier maintenance, and improved vibration resistance in harsh environments typical of aerospace and rugged industrial settings.
Yes. The receptacle is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, providing a recognized military specification for reliability, and it is REACH compliant, addressing environmental impact requirements across many regions. Cadmium plating is specified for corrosion resistance, and the aluminium shell supports lightweight yet durable assemblies suitable for demanding environments.
With eight solder cup contacts and cadmium-plated aluminium housing, this receptacle offers robust, stable terminations and excellent corrosion resistance. Regular inspection of solder joints, proper mating alignment (Y orientation), and ensuring the backnut is securely tightened will preserve electrical continuity and vibration resistance over the lifecycle in aerospace or industrial automation deployments.
This square flange receptacle excels in aerospace, defense, and rugged industrial automation where MIL-DTL-26482 compatibility, reliable solder-term connections, and corrosion resistance are critical. It is well-suited for control panels, avionics enclosures, and equipment housings that require a compact, robust, low-maintenance interconnect with proven performance in harsh environments.
