FAQs
The 85100E168SY50 is a square flange receptacle in the 851 series designed for MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualified assemblies. It uses eight recessed solder cup contacts, a backnut, and cadmium plating for corrosion resistance. The connector mate is positioned with Y orientation and 1/3 bayonet coupling on an aluminium shell size 16, delivering secure, vibration-resistant mating in tight spaces.
The 85100E168SY50 provides eight contacts, all socket (female) solder cup contacts. Contacts are delivered loaded, matching the eight cavities of the square flange receptacle. This configuration supports reliable solder connections suitable for compact harnesses and high-density panel layouts in restricted spaces.
Yes. The receptacle is specified for an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 125 °C, making it suitable for aerospace, military, and industrial environments where wide thermal excursions occur. Cadmium plating and aluminium shell contribute to temperature resilience and mechanical stability during repeated mating cycles.
The backnut backshell provides secure, vibration-resistant mounting while simplifying panel installation. The square flange geometry enables precise alignment and straightforward fastener layout, reducing assembly time and potential misalignment. For aerospace and rugged industrial applications, these features translate into predictable Mating, easier maintenance, and longer service life in demanding environments.
Key certifications for this connector include MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification, ensuring compatibility with MIL-grade mating standards. It also carries REACH compliance, addressing environmental and health considerations for cadmium-containing components. These certifications support regulatory alignment and lifecycle compliance in aerospace, defense, and regulated industrial settings.
