As aircraft evolve, the proportion of composite as a replacement for aluminium continues to increase. Souriau-Sunbank, a company of the EATON group and a major player in the aeronautics industry as a supplier of interconnection technologies, already offers a range of connectors made of composite material, recognised for its reliability and qualified according to the main standards in the sector, in particular the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and EN3645 standards. In order to meet market demand, Souriau-Sunbank is now extending its composite range to include all EWIS (Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems) accessories such as backshells, caps, transitions and shielding braids.

Its compact size and low mass, coupled with its incredible robustness and resistance to shock and vibration have made SOURIAU's 8STA the connector of choice for racing teams at the highest level of the sport looking for the state-of-the-art to improve the electrical performance of their machines. These connectors are commonly used on steering boss systems, temperature and pressure sensors, data acquisition and electronic control systems and inside fuel tanks.

Trailar is a British start-up offering solar mat kits for commercial vehicles. These mats supply auxiliary equipment with solar energy, reducing fuel costs and CO2 emissions. Thanks to these savings, the user can achieve a return on investment in less than 2 years. Users also benefit from reduced maintenance costs as well as longer battery and engine life. Trailar systems are equipped with Souriau UTS connectors.

The growth in world population is placing increased demands on agricultural production. This is one of the major challenges of modern agriculture, now in the midst of major transformation. Now that "intelligent" and connected equipment is becoming available on the market, answers to these needs are now within reach, while at the same time addressing environmental concerns. Real-time analysis of land and crops, the use of drones and geolocation systems, the implementation of software in agricultural equipment and greenhouse cultivation lead to new operational methods and the development and introduction of new devices and hence a need for connectivity. SOURIAU has been active in the agricultural sector for more than 20 years by providing its customers around the world with complete interconnection systems for harsh environments, continuously adapted to market evolutions.

SOURIAU has developed considerable expertise in the design and manufacture of robust and extremely reliable submersible connectors. Its dry-mate product ranges, for out-of-water mating, formerly known as Jupiter connectors, have been proven in both civil and military underwater applications for over 50 years. Now, SOURIAU also offers connectors that can be mated underwater. For maximum safety and service life, the connectors, known as wet-mate, feature a special method of ejecting water from the connection interface, thus reducing the possibility of short-circuits or contact corrosion. SOURIAU offers a very wide range of innovative products, responding to the evolving needs of applications in very deep waters but also in shallow waters, at very high and low pressure.

After being launched in the first quarter of 2017, JMX Plastic, SOURIAU's very first range of connectors for electronic medical equipment gained attention at the Compamed trade show in Düsseldorf that same year. SOURIAU used this year's edition of Compamed to announce that it has added larger sizes to its JMX Plastic range to meet an inrush of new electronic medical equipment that requires a higher contact density in order to be powered. In addition to offering advanced technical features and compliance with IEC 60601-1 and UL94 V-0, these JMX connectors have been carefully designed to meet the aesthetic and functional requirements of medical device manufacturers.

The Single Arm Composite Backshell developed by SUNBANK is specifically designed to offer a robust and unique performance in terms of reliability and functionality for defense, aerospace and other harsh environment applications. Our design team took into consideration different scenarios and needs for protecting cable connections from damage and providing better strain relief. The Single Arm backshell family comes in 3 types of configurations, Straight, 45°, and 90°. It is designed to satisfy requirements for all sizes of MIL-DTL-38999 Series I, II, and III connectors.
