Our Motorsport Division have announced the addition of a Souriau-made weight-saving connector to its circular 8STA product offering.

We have now added a hermetically sealed version of Souriau’s 8STA circular connector to our motorsport product portfolio.

We are now able to offer the SM/SMA Series and SMC Series, two new series of plastic-bodied circular connectors designed to suit a variety of applications where space is at a premium. 

After another good practice session at Donington Park, Sam Osborne had every reason to feel confident going into the three-race fixture that made up the second weekend of the 2016 Thundersport GB season. Unfortunately for Sam and many other competitors, the weather had other ideas.

The LMJ series of high reliability, cost competitive screw coupling circular connectors, manufactured in the UK by Weald Electronics, are designed to meet the requirements of MIL-C-5015. And customers are now able to specify and purchase LMJ connectors by visiting our online shop.

A first in class, a second in class and two top ten finishes overall represents a fantastic start to the 2016 season by our sponsored Thundersport 600 Sportsman competitor Sam Osborne. 24-year-old Sam, who rides for the leading tuning and racing team MSG Racing, modestly described the first race weekend of the season at Brands Hatch as a “testing weekend with extreme conditions... but I am very happy to get my first win of the season and put some points on the board”.

Successful off-season practice and testing as well as a bike that “promises to give a few more mph” all suggest that Thundersport 600 Sportsman competitor Sam Osborne is set to have a great year. 24-year-old Sam, who rides for the leading tuning and racing team MSG Racing, is also sponsored by The Motorsport Division of Lane Electronics.

Anyone who needs MIL-DTL-38999 circular connectors will find them readily available at FC Lane Electronics, the connector specialist with years of 38999 experience and the biggest stock profile of standard Souriau 38999 products and piece parts.

A private, family owned company that is still around and prospering after 50 years is a rare commodity – even more so in the ever developing environment that is the electronics industry.

FC Lane Electronics can supply customer specified MIL-DTL-26482 circular connectors in just 48 hours.

The motorsport division of FC Lane Electronics announces that it has agreed to sponsor Sam Osborne - a rising star in the world of the Thundersport GB Racing Club, for the 2016 season.

At FC Lane Electronics, we are an authorised distributor for a number of leading connector manufacturers.

Circular connectors for electrical and electronic applications come in a huge variety of materials, sizes, contact layouts, contact types, and coupling designs...

We recently exhibited at DSEI, the biennial Defence Systems & Equipment International exhibition in London and had a really successful time.

Our motorsport division will be at Professional MotorSport World Expo 2015 in Cologne showcasing and discussing the latest circular connectors from SOURIAU’s 8STA Series, along with a newly introduced range of connector accessories from HellermannTyton and Weald Electronics.

Our Motorsport Division has provided a variety of Souriau 8STA connectors to Loughborough University for its racing car project which competed in this year’s Formula Student competition.

Weald Electronics has made a significant addition to its LMG range of circular connectors with a new 37 way model designed for use in military vehicle and fighting ship applications.

Leading electrical and electronic connector specialist FC Lane Electronics recently played host to HUBER+SUHNER’s mobile roadshow, which this year presented the latest developments for applications in the fields of aviation, space, and defence.

In the connector industry, there are many technical terms which can sometimes be hard to decipher. Military connectors demand by their very nature that they meet the stringent technical standards originally laid out by the US Department of Defense.

We will be exhibiting at the biannual Defence and Security Show – DSEI – which will be taking place in September at London’s ExCeL Exhibition Centre. Please come and see us on stand S4 – 257.
