Feature: Square flange receptacle with backnut creates a rigid mounting interface that resists vibration-induced loosening. Business Impact: this translates to longer connector life, fewer intermittent contacts, and reduced maintenance on busy production lines. Application: ideal for panel-mounted drives, sensors, and I/O modules in conveyors and packaging systems. Feature: Eight solder cup contacts on a socket (female) configuration provide a robust termination. Business Impact: delivers a low-impedance path for power and data, maintaining signal integrity in EMI-prone industrial environments. Application: servo drives, instrumentation panels, and robotics controllers that demand dependable terminations. Feature: 1/3 Bayonet coupling with Z orientation allows fast mating and precise alignment. Business Impact: speeds field assembly and service while reducing misassembly risk. Application: machine tools and automated cells where quick connector changes minimize downtime. Feature: Cadmium plating paired with an aluminium shell size 16 offers corrosion resistance and thermal stability. Business Impact: improves longevity in dirty or humid environments and supports compliance with surface finish specs. Application: outdoor enclosures, food and beverage lines, and harsh manufacturing floors. Feature: Wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to 125 °C expands usable life across climates and startup conditions. Business Impact: reduces the need for heater blankets or enclosures, lowering total cost of ownership. Application: automotive assembly, oil and gas equipment, and heavy industry automation. Feature: Ready-to-install configuration with connector delivered and backnut included, dimensions of 32.7 mm length and 31.3 mm height and width, weight 28.8 g. Business Impact: simplifies procurement and integration, enabling faster time-to-value for new machines. Application: panel cuts, enclosure designs, and harness compatibility within Souriau 851-series ecosystems.
