An alternative to the D-subminiature connector, the new microComp Quicklatch is a 100% composite miniature quick connector designed particularly for use on in-flight entertainment screens aboard commercial aircraft. It is 32% smaller and 45% lighter than a D-sub and can save as much as the equivalent of the weight of one passenger on modern civil aircraft. Released just six months ago, the microComp Quicklatch is already being used on Airbus A350...

SOURIAU announces the release of the JDX Hybrid connector family. This new combination of power and signal being offered within one high density connector solution minimizes added componentry inventory, reduces system complexity and the subsequent consumption of valuable space and installation costs.

As part of its commitment to ensure ongoing customer satisfaction, Souriau develops solutions to reduce the cost of its connectors without sacrificing their high performance. One example is its new Cost-Effective ARINC 600 connector with harpooned contacts. Like its predecessor, this connector conforms to the ARINC 600 standard but costs as much as 25% less.

Specific criteria have been selected to ensure that the RF contacts can be integrated in each of the 16 SOURIAU 38999 layouts featuring normalized 8-gauge sockets. The advanced design work and careful control of mechanical tolerances enables users to ensure high-quality RF transmission, even in the event of harsh conditions of use as set out in the MIL standard (vibration, impacts, salt spray, etc.).

SOURIAU relaunches its industrial website with a new intuitive e-catalogue. This catalogue will cover the broad range of metal, plastic, circular and rectangular connectors used extensively in industrial, medical, instrumentation and renewable energy where robust interconnects are required.

Design engineers who need to reduce component size and weight without compromising electrical performance have a new hermetic connector option, following the release of SOURIAU PA&E’s new Mini Micro-D Connector. These new Mini-Micro-D connectors are designed for space, airborne, down-hole oil and any other hermetic applications where reducing size and weight are priorities. They have a 27% lower profile than standard Micro-D connectors and are ...

The new Souriau product range for power interconnection includes three shell sizes (19, 23 and 25) with silvered contacts able to handle currents up to 800 amps. The design of these connectors is built around the use of Souriau´s Series III inserts and shells. This pedigree results in unrivalled performance under extreme temperatures and vibration, due in particular to the use of the ratcheting system and materials used and qualified for D38999...
