FAQs

The 85100E2221SX50 is a square flange receptacle in the Souriau 851 series designed to meet MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification. It features a backnut, 1/3 bayonet coupling, and a 21-position contact layout, ensuring reliable mating with corresponding Souriau connectors. For installation, align the X orientation and secure with the backnut to maintain keying and EMI performance.
Key specs include 21 solder cup contacts in a 21-position cavity arrangement, aluminium shell with cadmium plating, shell size 22, and a straight backshell. The connector uses a 1/3 bayonet coupling, has a square flange receptacle form factor, and operates from -40 °C to 125 °C. It is delivered with a backnut and configured for an X orientation.
Yes. The 85100E2221SX50 is cadmium plated on an aluminium shell and meets MIL-DTL-26482 SI qualification, offering robust mechanical integrity and corrosion resistance. It also supports operation across a wide temperature range (-40 °C to 125 °C). Environmental considerations such as REACH compliance further enhance suitability for aerospace, defense, and industrial settings.
To ensure reliable mating, align the connector orientation (X) before engaging, use the 1/3 bayonet coupling to secure a positive lock, and tighten the backnut to maintain panel retention. Verify the 21-contact cavity alignment and confirm solder cup terminations are correctly prepared to prevent electrical faults and ensure repeatable, vibration-resistant connections.
