Souriau's 8STA Circular Connectors Provide The Lead in High-Reliability, Miniaturization and Weight Reduction

It's for this reason that the Souriau 8STA series are so highly coveted. The 8STA series are miniature circular connectors designed to be smaller and lighter with high-reliability features that ensure race performance and driver safety.

Non-standard Souriau 8D Series/38999 Connectors Assembled and Delivered in Days

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. 

Heat Shrink Boots for Backshell to Cable Transitions Now Available

We have now made available a wide range of heat shrinkable boots designed for strain relieving applications where motorsport connectors have integral backshell and other connector designs use boot adaptor backshells to save weight to cable transitions, as well as in other areas where insulation and component protection are key requirements.
