Our multi-million-pound connector and piece-part stockholding and next-day delivery, means Lane Electronics are the preferred source across many industry sectors including defence, avionics, marine, communications, medical, test+measurement, general industrial and geophysical.

The Weald Electronics LMH range of bayonet coupling connectors is designed specifically to meet the requirements of MIL-DTL-26482 Series 1 as well as Patt 105 and is manufactured to IECQ-CECC spec BS/CECC 75201-003 and BS 9522 F0017.

Our aim is to make it easy for customers to quickly specify and purchase a wide range of connectors for many different and diverse medical equipment applications, by providing short leadtimes across a wide range of connector options, while also continuing to support longer-term supply for current and new system designs.

In order to offer our designers and buyers with an almost-normal service during the COVID-19 pandemic we have remodelled much of our technical and sales support and assembly operations.

Lane Electronics has become Souriau’s first distributor approved to assemble the 8STA and D38999 High Density connector systems.

Lane Motorsport, our division devoted to electrical connectors for motorsport, has made available Souriau’s tiny size 01 8STA circular connector series, matching it with a range of ultra-light size 01-compatible accessories.

Our motorsport division, Lane Motorsport, have now developed a facility in which the extremely small Souriau 01 8STA connector series can be modified and remodeled to suit a customer’s specific application.

Our Motorsport division have now made available Souriau 8STA high power circular connectors which are designed for specific applications where high performance, small size and light weight are key factors, such as the motorsport sector.

We are happy to announce that we now have available the Weald Electronics LMH series of bayonet coupling circular power connectors which are designed to meet the requirements of MIL-DTL-26482.

Two high density, two-part PCB connector series' for board-to-board or cable-to-cable applications, where high resistance to vibration and extreme reliability are paramount, are now available from our online shop.

We are happy to make available two series of high reliability circular connectors manufactured by Weald Electronics and designed to meet the requirements of MIL-DTL-5015.

As with the military sector, the choice of aerospace connector and how it is used is hugely influenced by standards and approvals, traceability and overall performance as well as the obvious weight and space saving considerations.

We're very happy to introduce a new range of mains power circular connectors manufactured in the UK by our fellow Lodge Group company Weald Electronics.

We now have available a wide selection of connector assembly tools, specifically for our ranges of Souriau D38999, micro38999 and 8STA connectors, available from our online store.

We now have available several series of Neutrik cable and chassis connectors that will interest designers of professional audio and lighting systems as well as those involved in many industrial applications. 

We are very happy to add an Edgecard PCB connector range to our product line-up. With manufacturing and assembly taken care of on site by our sister company Weald Electronics, delivery lead times for these PCB connectors are generally very short.

We would like to announce that customers can now specify and purchase an increasingly wide selection of 8D Series / MIL-DTL-38999 connectors and accessories from our online store at www.fclane.com/store.

We have now added a new planform to our inventory of Weald Electronics’ LMH series MIL-DTL-26482 circular connectors. The new planform, 12-04, has 4 size 16 contacts and has been developed by Weald Electronics following increased demand from customers who need small MIL-DTL-26482 connectors capable of handling up to 1200V and high currents.

Ultra-miniature 8STA circular connectors as well as a range of ultra-lightweight size 01 8STA compatible accessories are now available from our online store.

Significant investment in our tooling and inventory levels will ensure that customers for Souriau’s 8STA High Density (HD) Series of circular connectors will soon not have to wait for prototypes and small quantities beyond a few days. 

We have now made available a number of RF micro miniature connectors produced by HUBER+SUHNER, an industry leader in RF connector technology. These include board to board and board to module RF connector solutions as well as high performance snap-on precision connectors for coax to PCB applications.

Many specifiers and buyers of 8D Series/38999 compliant circular connectors often require standard, off-the-shelf products and generally ask for delivery by return. According to Simon Hammerton, Managing Director at Lane Electronics, a lot of customers will often need a “special” for their application and they have also come to expect a quick turnaround. 

Lane Electronics will once again be one of the exhibitors at the bi-annual Defence and Security Show (DSEI) taking place this September (12th - 15th) at London’s ExCel Exhibition Centre.

We are very happy to announce a new rack and panel connector system which can be configured for use as a power or signal connector, or as a combination of the two in an almost endless variety of power/signal contact configurations.

We are happy to announce several new ranges of environmentally-sealed D-Subminiature connectors designed for use in those applications where enclosures need to be protected against the effects of dust, splashing water, rain and limited water immersion.

The UK-made LMH series of bayonet coupling circular connectors, manufactured by Weald Electronics, are ideally suited for demanding environmental applications including those found across many industry sectors. 

As a leading distributor of electrical and electronic connector products we are able to supply a range of circular connectors that meet the requirements of MIL-DTL-38999 SERIES III, making them suitable for a wide variety of demanding applications. 

We significantly increased our ITWMcMurdo Connectors inventory and now have available for immediate dispatch more  connector ranges than ever before including the popular M200 and Red Range, as well as the 801 Series PCB connector system. 

As we've reported before, each year LU Motorsport (Loughborough University Motorsport) develops, builds, tests and races a new single seat race car. From CAD to test circuit, these vehicles are designed from a blank sheet of paper, with the knowledge and expertise from over a decade of racing experience.
