SOURIAU 8D521W35PN 79-Pin MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Connector
The SOURIAU 8D521W35PN is a 79-position straight cable plug from the Eaton SOURIAU 8D connector family. It uses a shell size 21 aluminium housing, olive-drab cadmium finish, male crimp contacts and normal N polarization.
Designed around MIL-DTL-38999 Series III performance requirements, the connector provides a high-density interface for signal and control wiring exposed to vibration, moisture, temperature extremes and electromagnetic interference.
Core Advantages
79-position high-density layout: Accommodates 79 size #22D signal contacts in one shell size 21 circular interface.
Harsh-environment reliability: Provides IP67 sealing, a −65°C to +175°C operating range and resistance to salt spray, vibration and repeated mating.
Secure shielded connection: Threaded coupling and shielding capability support reliable signal transmission in aerospace and defence wiring systems.

Applications
Aerospace Avionics
The 79-contact layout supports high-density signal connections between avionics units, flight-control systems, navigation equipment and aircraft wiring harnesses.
Military Communication Systems
Shielding and secure threaded coupling make the connector suitable for radar, radio, command, surveillance and electronic-warfare equipment.
Ground and Naval Platforms
Environmental sealing and corrosion-resistant plating support wiring connections in military vehicles, naval electronics and mobile control systems.
Sensors and Data Acquisition
The high contact count allows multiple sensor, monitoring and low-current control circuits to be consolidated into one circular interface.
Test and Ground-Support Equipment
A 500-cycle mating rating supports systems that require repeated connection during testing, maintenance and equipment integration.
