TRIM TRIOTM Overview
TRIM TRIO ➲ The flagship of Souriau’s industrial connectors
Historically, TRIM TRIO connectors were developed in the 60’s and are derived from MIL standards, but using size 16 contacts (1.6mm).
From the 60’s and forward, the product ranges have evolved into various sub series and different design-variations.
In parallel with the size 16 contacts, there also has been an evolution on high density versions using size 20 contacts (1.0mm) and on
mixed signal / power versions using size 16 contacts in combination with size 12 (2.4mm) and size 8 (3.6)mm contacts.
This TRIM TRIO interconnection system catalog gives an overview of the following products:
• Standard TRIM TRIO using size 16 contacts (1.6mm)
• High Density TRIM TRIO using size 20 contacts (1.0mm)
• Mixed power / signal versions and Heavy Duty connectors
• Standard TRIM TRIO
Using size 16 contacts
Standard TRIM TRIO using size 16 contacts
(1.6mm pin diameter) is a versatile industrial
range of connectors in which a variety of 3
removable snap-lock contact styles can be
mixed and matched.
From machined or stamped & formed wire
contacts to coaxial or fiber solutions can be
offered with our TRIO of contact styles. In fact,
the beauty of the standard TRIM TRIO system
means that any TRIM TRIO contact can be
used in any contact position in any TRIM TRIO
connector.
The versatile range offers many options in
rectangular and circular connectors from low
cost plastic to top class metal solutions.
This interchangeability offers boundless
design possibilities with a large commonality
throughout the entire range.
The commonality in the system is established
in:
• Contact performance and wire range.
• Configuration of contact cavities in the
housings.
• Crimp tooling
• Assembly procedures.
• Quality assurance procedures.
• Field service and maintenance.
• Personnel training.
• High Density TRIM TRIO
Using size 20 contacts
High Density TRIM TRIO (UT0W/UTS) using
size 20 contacts (1.0mm pin diameter) are
metal circular ranges with bayonet coupling
system in which a variety of 2 removable snap-
lock contact styles are used.
Both machined or stamped & formed contacts
can be mixed and matched in the same
housing.
UTOW receptacle connectors feature the same
panel cut-out dimensions as the
MIL-C-26482 series 1 connectors.
There are 3 basic reasons for a customer to
use UT0W/UTS connectors.
• Higher contact density: allows weight
and space savings
• The “best in class” performance
characteristics with an IP68/ 69K
waterproof bayonet connection
• Cost saving!!! Not only on individual
connector cost, but UT0W/UTS offers
reeled, stamped & formed contacts
that provide the ultimate answer to
customers for overall applied cost for
installation.
• Mixed Power / Signal TRIM
TRIO
• Ruggedized TRIM TRIO
connectors UTV
Mixed Power / Signal TRIM TRIO connectors
using mixed contacts for power versions up
till 44 Amp is a range of connectors to meet
application specific requirements. It is an
extension of the long established and popular
TRIM TRIO connectors offering additional
features.
Ruggedized UTV circular connectors series
is an enhanced version of the VG 95234
connector standard but remains completely
intermountable with VG 95234: the MS 5015
reverse bayonet system.
Following TRIM TRIO contacts are used in the
UTV series:
• Size 16 contacts (1.6mm)
• Size 12 contacts (2.4mm)
• Size 8 contacts (3.6mm)
The keyword in the TRIM TRIO interconnection system is SERV:
• Standardization
• Economy.
• Reliability
• Versatility
This word explain why the TRIM TRIO name is so well known, and its connectors are used all over the world.
The physical characteristics and performances are appreciated in numerous fields of applications:
• Test and measurement
• Robotics
• Process control, handling equipment
• Factory automation and motor drives
• Public transportation, traffic control
• Medical instrumentation, telecom
• … etc
