Tiny connector and accessory package combines weight and space saving with high performance

A new ultra-miniature 8STA circular connector series and a comprehensive package of ultra-lightweight 8STA compatible accessories has been announced by Lane Motorsport. The new Souriau size 01 8STA connector offers a significant 20% saving in size and weight over the popular size 02 series while maintaining all the size 02 performance advantages – including the anti-vibration design and the high resistance to motorsport fluids. According to the company, these size 01 connectors accommodate three removable #26 contacts that can handle wires from 24AWG to 30AWG. Other key features of these tiny connectors include seven colour-coded orientations, PCB options and a boot termination feature. For even more weight saving, Lane Motorsport has also made available a single flange version. The company’s size 01 8STA interconnection package features a comprehensive range of accessories made by HellermannTyton and Weald Electronics. These include protective caps, gaskets, nut plates, heat shrink boots as well as all the assembly tools needed to complete the application.
