Buy Souriau 8STA Matched Pairs in Australia
A matched pair gives you both halves of an 8STA connection in one order: the receptacle and its mating plug, same shell size, same insert arrangement, same keyway, guaranteed to couple. 12Volt Motorsports stocks matched pairs from 3 to 128 pin in Melbourne and ships Australia-wide, with heatshrink boot options supplied per pair.
Why Matched Pairs Exist
8STA part numbers pack the shell size, insert arrangement, gender and keyway into one code, and the classic expensive mistake in autosport wiring is ordering a plug and receptacle that look right on paper but will not couple: wrong gender combination, wrong keyway, wrong insert. A matched pair removes the cross referencing entirely. One click, two connectors, one working connection.
Matched Pair Range

Add Boots to Any Pair
Every matched pair has a boot option on the product page: two straight boots, two 90 degree boots, one of each, or a single boot, always the correct adhesive lined size for that shell. Boots seal and strain relieve the cable exit, the professional finish on any 8STA termination, and choosing them with the pair means no boot size cross referencing either.
Need a Different Layout?
These pairs cover the common red key arrangements. For other keyway colours, insert arrangements, inline receptacles or anything else in the 8STA range, plan it with our free tools or call us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Souriau 8STA matched pairs in Australia?
12Volt Motorsports stocks Souriau 8STA matched pairs in Melbourne, receptacle and plug sets from 3 to 128 pin, shipped Australia-wide with optional heatshrink boots supplied per pair.
What is a matched pair?
One listing containing both halves of the connection: the 8STA0 series receptacle and the matching 8STA6 series plug, same shell size, same insert arrangement, same keyway. Order one product and the two connectors are guaranteed to mate.
Why buy a matched pair instead of separate connectors?
8STA part numbers carry shell size, insert, gender and keyway in the code, and the classic expensive mistake is ordering a plug and receptacle that look right but will not couple, wrong gender combination or wrong keyway. The pair removes the cross referencing entirely.
Can I add heatshrink boots to a matched pair?
Yes. Every pair has a boot option: straight, 90 degree, or a mix, sized correctly for that shell, fitted to one or both connectors. Pick the option on the product page and the boots ship with the pair.
What tooling do 8STA contacts need?
Autosport crimp tooling matched to the contact size, typically M22520 series frames with the correct positioner. Each product page lists the recommended tooling, or use the connector selector tool and the tooling appears on your parts list.
Are these compatible with Deutsch Autosport connectors?
Yes. Souriau 8STA mates with Deutsch Autosport AS connectors of the same shell size, insert arrangement and keyway. Run any Autosport part number through our cross reference tool to find the matching Souriau part.
I need a layout or keyway that is not listed, can you supply it?
Yes. The pairs listed here are the common red key layouts. We supply the full 8STA range including other keyway colours and insert arrangements, use the selector tool or call us with the layout.
Do you ship Souriau matched pairs Australia-wide?
Yes. We ship to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin and everywhere in between, usually same or next business day.
