Frequently Asked Questions

Are Souriau connectors and Eaton connectors the same?

The French connector technology company Souriau was acquired by Eaton in 2019, an American power management company that operates globally in over 175 countries. It is now known as Souriau-Sunbank Connection Technologies.

Prior to the acquisition Northern Connectors had represented the Souriau Trim Trio connector profile for over 35 years under different brand names including Burndy and FCI. This same Trim Trio connector profile, which includes the well renowned connectivity solutions such as the Souriau UTG series, Souriau UTS series and Souriau UTO series, is now owned by Eaton and adds to their extensive industrial product portfolio. 

What you can be sure of is that the Eaton Souriau connectors we distribute continue to be manufactured to the highest quality and are designed to international standards to ensure they can operate in harsh industrial environments. 

What can Eaton Souriau connectors be used for?

Every application has its own unique challenges that can make selecting the right industrial connector system an intensive process. However, high-resistance Souriau connectors have the functionality to maintain signals even in the harshest conditions.

As mentioned above, there are various sectors that can benefit from Eaton Souriau industrial connectors. Here are some of the specific sectors that can make use of the selection of Souriau connectors that we distribute at Northern Connectors:

Are Eaton Souriau connectors waterproof?

Yes – one of the biggest advantages of Souriau circular connectors is that many of these designs are not just dustproof, but also waterproof to protect against water ingress. Most of the Souriau series we offer are designed to withstand immersion under specified conditions, as well as corrosive elements such as salt spray and industrial fluids.
