New tooling means custom 8STA connectors designed, built and delivered in days

Notable investment in tooling and inventory levels at Lane Electronics guarantees that customers for Souriau’s 8STA HD Series of circular connectors will not have to wait for prototypes and small quantities further than a few days. As these connectors are used in the motorsport sector speed, unsurprisingly, is of the essence. According to Peter Costin, who runs Lane’s Motorsport Division, they will allow the company to become a real extension of Souriau’s manufacturing capability for customers in the motorsport world. There is also no minimum order quantities policy. These connectors are used in many areas including engine control units, communications equipment, data acquisition systems and harnesses, while other applications for these increasingly popular high-density 8STA connectors include those where small size, high performance and light weight are key factors.
