Feature: MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified 8-contact square flange receptacle. Benefit: Delivers proven regulatory compliance and high-contact density in a compact footprint, reducing the need for additional mating hardware. Application: Aerospace and heavy machinery panels where space is at a premium and reliability is non-negotiable. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Backnut-backed shells provide a secure mechanical seal against vibration and moisture; this reduces field rework and extends service life in demanding environments such as packaging lines or CNC controls. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cadmium plating on aluminum shells offers corrosion resistance and lightweight durability, lowering maintenance costs and enabling longer intervals between service visits in maritime or outdoor settings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1/3 bayonet coupling enables quick, repeatable mating with strong retention, speeding assembly in production lines and minimizing downtime during panel upgrades. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Solder cup female contacts ensure robust, low-resistance terminations suitable for PCB connections, improving signal integrity in high-density control modules. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating range from -40 °C to 125 °C supports extreme industrial environments, enabling multi-site deployments without redesigns for temperature swings.

FAQs
To install, align the square flange receptacle with the mounting surface, insert the backnut from the exterior side, and tighten to specification to create a secure, vibration-resistant seal. Connect the socket (female) solder cup contacts, ensure proper insulation, and verify mating with the corresponding 1/3 bayonet partner for reliable, field-ready operation.
This 85100E168SW50 uses a 1/3 bayonet coupling with a W orientation. Pair it with the matching Souriau 851-series square flange receptacle/coupler assemblies designed for backnut configurations to ensure proper alignment, retention, and environmental sealing in dynamic environments such as automated lines and portable equipment.
The connector operates from -40 °C to 125 °C, accommodating extreme conditions common in industrial automation and harsh environments. It features an aluminum shell with cadmium plating for corrosion resistance and complies with REACH environmental requirements, helping you maintain regulatory alignment across international sites.
The 85100E168SW50 is MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified, providing a recognized aerospace/defense standard for connector performance. It also aligns with REACH environmental compliance. These certifications support reliability in demanding applications and help streamline qualification efforts in mixed-industrial environments.
The assembly features 8 solder cup contacts in an 8-cavity arrangement, with a backnut-backed square flange receptacle for secure mounting. The aluminum shell is size 16, with cadmium plating for corrosion resistance. Operating temperature range, 32.7 mm length, 31.3 mm width/height, and a 1/3 bayonet coupling define the space and performance envelope for your panel layout.
