Autosport range of connectors mil-spec rated

10 August 2005 Interconnection

Souriau, a foremost manufacturer for the autosport industry, has launched its latest range of Autosport connectors, manufactured to ISO 9001 standards.

Using mil-spec technology and components, the 8STA range, which is available in five shell styles in sizes 6-24, is derived from the high density Eurofighter JN1003 specification and provides superior performance and reliability.

The composite size 6 version of 8STA offers substantial weight reduction of up to 40%. Both this connector and the more rugged fully mateable aluminium type have proved highly successful in both Formula 1 motor racing and world rally championships.

The aluminium 8STA size 4 connectors provide even greater weight and space saving. This design gives an optimum combination of size and weight reduction yet retains a rugged shell and a highly reliable electrical as well as mechanical mating system.

These size 4 connectors are available either with five size 26 contacts or three size 22 contacts. The aluminium connectors feature an aluminium alloy shell with black zinc plating and thermoplastic insulation. Copper alloy contacts are gold-plated with 45 N (size 22) and 35 N (size 26) contact retention, offering 500 mating/unmating operations. This range is shock tested to MIL-S-901 Grade A, vibration tested to 147 m², 10 to 2000 Hz, and is flash fire tested to >2 mm at 600°C.

Rated to IP67 with a silicon grommet and sealing on 22 to 30 AWG wires, this range is resistant to salt spray and provides an operational temperature range which extends from -55 to 175°C. In addition, the range is highly resistant to motor oil, unleaded fuel and car brake fluid.
