Molded Bending Strain Relief

Integrally molded relief that spreads stress over distance, preventing concentrated flexing at the cable/connector joint.

Color Coded Leads

Bulkhead and overmold leads match their mated cable colors, making conductor tracing easier than numbered tags.

Bulkhead Pressure Block

Machined into the metal shell to resist water intrusion during a catastrophic failure.

Reinforced Bulkhead Neck

A heavier, stronger neck resists the head shearing off during aggressive disconnection — a common failure point on other connectors.

Crimped Contacts

Crimped rather than soldered contacts resist bending-fatigue failures better under repeated flexing and cable pull.

Gold Plated Contacts

Plated to ASTM B488-01 Type II for reduced electrical resistance and resistance to atmospheric and saltwater corrosion.

Pin Shoulder Radius

A radiused contact pin and insulation shoulder make mating easier in darkness or rough seas, and reduce fraying at the interface.

Bulkheads

Bulkhead receptacles mount to your pressure vessel and handle 10,000 psi pressure differential (open face). Available in aluminum, brass, or stainless steel — other materials available by special request.

Inlines

Inline plugs are available as pigtails or molded directly onto your cable. Standard pigtail length is 1 meter; any length can be specified. Plugs into a bulkhead receptacle or another inline connector.

Dummies

Dummy connectors blank off an unused bulkhead receptacle or inline connector, protecting the gold-plated contacts from saltwater exposure.

Locking Sleeves

Not required for operation, but prevent disengagement under cable pulling loads. Available in Delrin, aluminum, or stainless steel.
