Underwater connectors Introduction Part II
Several connections are frequently utilized in wiring harnesses for unique underwater settings
6. LEMO Connections' W-series screw-coupled underwater cable connectors with alignment keys are strong and can sustain pressures up to 30 bar, which is equal to water depths up to 300 meters. They also offer peak protection (>IP68) against high-pressure liquid ingress (984.25 feet). Perfect for use in the petroleum sector, nuclear physics, and marine environmental electronics.
7. The M23 line of circular power, signal, and data connectors from Smiths Intercon are small and durable, and they are frequently used in tough settings for applications in the medical, industrial, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical, and maritime industries. The M23 line of waterproof connectors has been approved for use with submersible motor and pump applications, can work for 72 hours at a depth of up to 5 meters, and has been tested to fulfill IP68 sealing criteria.
8. Waterproof push-pull electrical couplers from SCHURTER offer strong and dependable power connections for a variety of applications in harsh environments, including those in the medical, industrial, food processing, laboratory, outdoor equipment, and marine environment electronics sectors. When not paired, the mating pairs of the 4762 Series Rewirable Cord Connectors offer IP69K protection and include corresponding accessory covers. 4761 Series IEC Electrical Outlets (IP67 protection when mated).
9. AMETEK Subsea Interconnect (ASI), a division of AMETEK Interconnect Technologies, specializes in the design and provision of vital subsea feed-throughs, wet or dry mated connectors, and related terminations. For difficult oil and gas applications, ASI is renowned for its standard and specially engineered components and system solutions.
10. The Nautilus series of IP-rated connectors and assemblies from Gradconn is the leader in the market for water- and dust-tight coax. Internal seals and o-rings are present in housings that house interface connectors that are water- and dust-tight. Water and particle entry is prevented by this due to internal contacts and panels. Nautilus has SMA, TNC, BNC, and Type N interfaces and is rated IP67, IP68, and IP69K. SMA and TNC are available in isolation and stainless steel.
