Eaton 85100E168PZ50 Receptacle - MIL-DTL-26482 SI
Part Number: 85100E168PZ50
Quick Summary
Eaton 85100E168PZ50 Receptacle is a MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified connector for rugged harnesses in aerospace and industrial machinery. Field installs often suffer from misaligned backshells, unreliable solder contacts, and limited panel space. The MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification, REACH environmental compliance, cadmium plating, and a robust aluminium shell deliver corrosion resistance and dependable performance across harsh conditions. With straight backshell, backnut mounting, and Z-oriented contacts, this design reduces assembly errors and rework. The solution supports panel-ready integration and fastens to standard subassemblies, providing predictable procurement and streamlined maintenance. In practice, engineers gain reliability, reduce downtime, and improve lifecycle costs in critical control and power-distribution applications.

FAQs
The 85100E168PZ50 is a square flange receptacle designed with a backnut for secure panel mounting and a Z orientation for consistent mating alignment. This simplifies installation in tight panels, reduces misalignment risk, and improves sealing integrity when used with the corresponding backnut hardware and mating connectors.
Key specs include eight solder cup contacts, a pin (male) contact configuration, 1/3 bayonet coupling, aluminium shell size 16, cadmium plating, and operating temperature from -40 to 125 °C. Ensure compatibility with the mating Souriau 851 series receptacles and verify the backnut and square flange mounting hardware for your enclosure.
Yes. The MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification, combination of corrosion-resistant cadmium plating, robust aluminium shell, and wide temperature range make this receptacle well-suited for aerospace harnesses and harsh industrial environments where reliability and standardization are critical.
The connector is REACH compliant and adheres to MIL-DTL-26482 specifications for high-reliability interconnects. While it does not list CE or IP ratings in the data, the MIL standard and REACH compliance provide a solid baseline for many regulated industrial and aerospace applications.
The combination of durable aluminium housing, cadmium plating, and robust mating arrangement reduces corrosion-related failures and maintenance cycles. The straightforward backnut mounting and 1/3 bayonet coupling shorten field servicing, improving uptime and lowering total cost of ownership over the equipment’s lifecycle.
