Lightweight, protective caps target motorsport applications
Providing a corrosion resistant cap for AS/8STA connector plugs and receptacles, FC Lane Electronics has announced a range of lightweight protective caps machined from solid aluminium and designed for motorsport applications. The company claims that the caps are up to 35% lighter than current models, feature an anti-vibration locking design and can be supplied with or without a flexible, stainless steel micro wire rope lanyard.
Lane’s Motorsport Division offers connector solutions based mainly around Souriau’s 8STA Series, along with a range of connector accessories from HellermannTyton and Weald Electronics.
Souriau 8STA compact circular connectors are used extensively throughout all levels of motorsport in applications ranging from engine control units, batteries, communications equipment, data acquisition systems and harnesses. The 8STA series includes the smallest and lightest circular connector of its type currently available, as well as a high density version providing up to 68 size 26 contacts using 24 to 30AWG wire. This allows the use of a smaller and lighter shell size to be specified for the application.
Lane Motorsport is certified to assemble and test Souriau circular connectors and holds extensive stocks of 8STA piece parts and accessories, allowing the company to provide connector solutions to meet customers’ precise requirements on very short delivery times.
