Mil-Aero, defense and space connectors, backshells and contacts

8D power and high power series

Our Souriau line of 8D power series connectors are designed to meet the harshest military requirements where high power and shielding are needed. The MIL-DTL-38999 series III shell style ensures a self-locking system in order to avoid disconnection even under high vibration. 

The 8D high power series connectors provide a superior contact technology equipped with a silver-plated “crown” that guarantees a solution with excellent endurance, low contact resistance, no micro-disconnects under vibration and can reach up to 850 A at 40°C / 104°F.

Available in 5 high-end materials and 5 platings,the 8D power series connectors can withstand all of the corrosion, shock, endurance or firewall capability you will encounter. The self-locking system and the metallic retention clip technology make the product perfect for high vibration applications or rough handling on the field.

Typical applications include ground army vehicles and weapon systems as well as civil and military aviation.
