Protective housings target motorsport applications
Protective housings, manufactured by HellermannTyton, are now available from the Motorsport Division of Lane Electronics. For maximum protection, the housings can be supplied in a straight or right-angle format and in a range of materials specially formulated to combine high electric strength, mechanical toughness and superior chemical and environmental resistance.
The division is centred on the Souriau 8STA compact circular connector family, which is used throughout all levels of motorsport in applications such as engine control units, communications equipment, data acquisition systems and harnesses. According to Lane Electronics, to meet the requirements of IP67, the connectors need to be fitted with housings. The company stocks standard housings, glue lined housings and housings made from Viton to combat motorsport fuels and oils.
