Souriau Sunbank by Eaton 8STA00406PA Industrial Circular Connector is a high-performance panel mount socket connector designed for demanding environments. This standard size 4 connector features 6 male contacts with gold plating made from copper alloy to provide superior electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The aluminium alloy housing with conductive black zinc plating offers robustness and lightweight properties, making it suitable for motorsport, military, UAV, and other heavy-duty industrial applications.

The connector is rated IP67, providing full protection against dust ingress and water immersion up to 1 meter depth for 30 minutes, ensuring excellent reliability in harsh environmental conditions. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 175°C and supports an operating voltage of 1000V with a current rating of 3A, accommodating various electrical requirements.

Equipped with a quick mating bayonet lock mechanism that operates with a 1/3 turn and an audible click, the 8STA series connector allows for fast, secure connections. The shock resistance rating of 300g for 3ms and vibration tolerance up to 147m/s² further confirm its suitability for environments exposed to significant mechanical stress, such as Formula 1, Moto GP, WRC, NASCAR, and other motorsports.

The design incorporates a colour coded banding system for easy identification and supports a straight orientation with A coding to prevent mismating. This circular connector is supplied complete with contacts and an extraction tool, facilitating straightforward installation and maintenance.

Its lightweight and compact design meet stringent MIL-DTL-38999 specifications and were developed especially for motorsports, but its robust construction makes it ideal for military UAVs, ground vehicles, and infantry applications where size, vibration tolerance, and weight are critical. The panel mount type and socket configuration with male contacts provide flexibility for use in complex assemblies requiring durable and reliable connections.

Features a standard size 4 oval flange receptacle design with 6 male contacts. Constructed with aluminium alloy housing plated with conductive black zinc for durability. Gold plated copper alloy contacts provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.
