About SOURIAU

Souriau is a manufacturer of interconnect products with a history dating to the early 20th century, when the company was founded in France. Over decades it has developed a portfolio of circular connectors, rectangular connectors, and contacts used in industrial, aerospace, defense, and transportation applications. The brand is now part of Eaton, and its products are specified where reliable electrical connections are required in demanding environments. Souriau's product families include the Trim Trio series, which encompasses several sub-series such as UTSX, UTGX, UTO, UTP, and SMS. These connectors are available in multiple shell styles, contact arrangements, and termination methods, including crimp and solder. The Trim Trio UTSX series, for example, offers harsh-environment circular connectors with sealing ratings up to IP69K, making them suitable for washdown and outdoor installations. Current ratings in the UTSX line range from 4 A to 16 A, with voltage ratings up to 500 V. Contacts are machined from copper alloy and plated with gold to provide stable electrical performance over mating cycles. Wire sizes accommodated span from 30 AWG to 14 AWG, depending on the specific contact and connector configuration. Coupling mechanisms include 1/3 bayonet for quick mating and unmating. 3G Electric supplies Souriau connectors and contacts as part of its industrial equipment catalog. The product range includes jam nut receptacles, square flange receptacles, in-line receptacles, and plugs, with or without cable glands. Both male and female contacts are available, in loose or reeled packaging. 3G Electric supports procurement by providing detailed specifications, datasheets, and logistics coordination for global delivery. Plant engineers and maintenance managers can source Souriau components for new installations, replacements, or spares, with the assurance that the parts meet the published technical requirements. The catalog includes accessories and tooling where applicable, though the primary focus is on connectors and contacts. For technical buyers, Souriau products are characterized by their adherence to industry standards for environmental sealing, vibration resistance, and electrical performance. The use of machined contacts and gold plating is typical across the range, contributing to consistent contact resistance and durability. The Trim Trio system allows for mixing and matching of components within the series, providing flexibility in configuration. 3G Electric maintains inventory and can source non-stock items, offering a single point of contact for Souriau interconnect needs. The company serves a global customer base, shipping to various regions without geographic restrictions. This brand profile is intended to provide an overview of Souriau's product offerings and how 3G Electric facilitates their availability. It is not a substitute for the manufacturer's datasheets, which should be consulted for detailed specifications and approval requirements.
