8STA6-10-02PB — 2-Way Souriau 8STA Inline Plug Motorsport Connector (Pin (Male), B keyway (polarisation key B — blue))
The 8STA6-10-02PB is a 2-way Souriau 8STA series cable-to-cable or cable-to-panel inline plug with pin (male) contacts and B keyway (polarisation key B — blue). The blue colour coding of this B-keyway connector provides immediate visual identification of its keyway within a multi-connector assembly. The 8STA series is the professional motorsport circular connector standard used by factory racing teams and professional harness builders worldwide, offering IP67 sealing, lightweight aluminium shell construction, and bayonet coupling in a compact body. With 2 circuits, this connector is ideal for dedicated single-function interfaces, compact sensor connectors, and low-channel sub-harness breakout points.
Souriau 8STA — Professional Motorsport Circular Connector
The 8STA series was designed specifically for motorsport and high-performance vehicle harness applications: lightweight hard-anodised aluminium shell, bayonet quarter-turn coupling for rapid engagement under race conditions, IP67 sealing in the mated condition, and a wide temperature operating range. These characteristics distinguish the 8STA from both standard circular mil-spec connectors and general-purpose automotive connectors, making it the benchmark for professional circuit-level motorsport harness connections at ECU interfaces, data acquisition system connectors, and sensor cluster bulkheads.
Mount Type — Inline Plug
The 8STA6-10-02PB is a cable-to-cable or cable-to-panel inline plug, suited to medium-large shell for higher circuit-count applications. The inline format provides a cable-to-cable or cable-to-panel connection point without requiring a panel cutout.
Keyway — B keyway (polarisation key B — blue)
The B keyway provides a specific rotational orientation key that prevents mating with connectors carrying a different keyway designation — used when multiple 8STA connectors of the same shell size are present on the same device and physical keying prevents incorrect connector mating.
Contact Type — Pin (Male)
Pin (male) contacts are typically assigned to the device or cable plug side. Appropriate dust caps should protect exposed pin contacts during storage.
