Wet-Pluggable Connectors

Product Group

Wet-Pluggable Solutions for Harsh Environment Connections

Our ALL-WET connector series was developed to provide affordable yet reliable rubber molded connectors that allow the user to make and break connections both on the surface and underwater. Manufactured using high quality materials, the ALL-WET bulkhead connector's metal shell is produced using brass as standard, although other materials are available upon request. Contacts are gold plated providing superior corrosion resistance. The ALL-WET range is available in four different styles: round (AW), split (AW), flat (FAW) and miniature hermaphroditic (MAW).

Features
  • Wet-pluggable connector
  • Round, split, flat and hermaphroditic
  • Up to 42 contacts
  • Up to 20,000 psig (approx. 45,000ft/13,700m) mated for round configurations
  • Up to 600 VDC (with standard cable)
  • Up to 50 amps
  • Copper alloy, neoprene rubber, delrin
  • SO cable as standard
  • Typical uses: Diver equipment, lights, Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)'s, cameras

SEACON ALL-WET Split Connector

The popular Micro WET-CON connector series was developed to provide all the features of the SEACON ALL-WET connector series,  but in a miniature, industry standard configuration. The small, lightweight design offers the same flexibility and reliability as our rubber molded connectors. The Micro WET-CON series allows for smaller through ports in a pressure vessel and a greater density of conductors in a compact area. The smaller cables decrease the overall weight and drag of an Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) or other vessel. This connector range is wet-pluggable and therefore enables connections to be made underwater, on-deck or in various weather conditions. Bulkhead connectors are available in a variety of different materials.

Features
  • Wet-pluggable
  • New pin design removing any potential wear to the sealing interface
  • Low cost
  • 2 to 16 contacts
  • Up to 10,000 psig (approx. 22,500ft/7,000m) mated
  • 2, 3 & 4 pin 600 VDC
  • Special versions available (right-angle, double o-ring, Micro WET-CON Attachable (MCAT) field installable, ethernet, power ethernet, low profile, split)
  • 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 & 16 pin 300 VDC
  • Up to 19 amps max current
  • Brass and stainless steel bulkhead as standard, aluminum, titanium and peek optional
  • Typical uses: ROV equipments (lights, cameras, thrusters), diver equipment, oceanographic instruments, defense

The design of the Micro WET-CON Split connector enables customers to connect multiple inline connectors from different instruments to be connected to a single bulkhead connector. This allows easy replacement of break-outs and helps prevents costly Y-assemblies. Like the standard Micro WET-CON series, this connector is ideal for applications where space is a concern.

Features
  • Wet-pluggable connector
  • 6 split configurations ranging from 6 to 16 contacts
  • Up to 10,000 psig (approx. 22,500ft/7,000m) mated
  • Up to 19 amps max current
  • Typical uses: Diver communications, underwater cameras, lights &  Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)'s

Our WET-CON connector series was developed to provide inexpensive yet reliable rubber molded connectors  that allow the user to make and break connections both on the surface and underwater. Bulkhead connectors are available in a brass or stainless steel material.

Features
  • Wet-pluggable connector
  • 1 to 16 contacts, 3 connector body sizes
  • Up to 20,000 psig (approx. 45,000ft/13,700m) mated
  • 600 VDC with standard cable
  • 19 amps max current (cable dependant)
  • Typical uses: Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) equipment (lights, cameras, thrusters), oceanographic instruments, diver equipment, defense
