The TRIM TRIO series from Eaton Souriau offers a highly versatile and unified contact system compatible with a wide range of connector styles. Designed to support multiple coupling mechanisms, bayonet or push-pull, and available in both plastic and metal shells, the system accommodates circular and rectangular connector formats. At the core of the TRIM TRIO concept is a shared contact design used across all connectors in the series. This innovative approach streamlines the supply chain, reduces production complexity, and enables seamless transitions between different connector types within the same family.
The standardised contact system includes three options: machined, stamped and formed, and high-speed contacts. These are available for a broad range of cable types, from 30 AWG to 6 AWG, including copper, coaxial, and fibre optic variants. Connectors in the TRIM TRIO family include UTS (full plastic, IP68/IP69K waterproof), UTG (metal-plastic hybrid for heavy-duty use), and UTO (fully metallic, IP68/IP69K-rated), all feature compatible 1/3 bayonet coupling systems. This compatibility ensures interchangeability and intermateability, giving manufacturers the flexibility to switch between series without redesigning equipment or disrupting production. The UTL series, also part of the TRIM TRIO range, features a plastic push-pull design and is engineered for compliance with modern industrial safety standards, including IEC and UL. Additionally, the SMS series includes snap-lock rectangular connectors for fast mating and cable connectivity.
All TRIM TRIO connectors are designed to meet or exceed major IEC and UL electrical standards, making them a reliable choice for industrial and harsh environment applications. With a common interconnect platform supporting a variety of shell materials and geometries, TRIM TRIO simplifies system design and supports scalable product evolution, while helping reduce costs and enhance safety.
