Comprehensive motorsport connector and accessory package meet demanding environments

Lane Motorsport, a division of Lane Electronics, has available a comprehensive package of 8STA compatible accessories made by HellermannTyton and Weald Electronics. These include heatshrink boots, newly designed nut plates, protective caps and gaskets – all designed to meet the demanding environments found within the motorsport sector. Lane Motorsport’s product portfolio is based around the Souriau 8STA connector range. According to Lane Motorsport’s Peter Costin, Weald’s 8STA connector accessories will be used right across the World of motorsport. Weald’s recently introduced lightweight caps are as much as 40% lighter than standard motorsport caps with the new design making it easier to mate and unmate. Sealing is to IP67 and they are available with and without a lanyard. Lane Motorsport has them in shell sizes from 01 to 24 in both receptacle and plug formats. Weald has also redesigned the nut plates to make them lighter and has profiled them to better mirror the shape of the connector flange. Like the protective caps, Lane Motorsport has these nut plates to suit shell sizes 01 to 24. A new single flange nut plate saves even more weight. The gaskets are only available in high-temperature materials for shell sizes 01 to 24.
