The Subconn® circular series of underwater pluggable electrical connectors was introduced in the late 1970's and today is the leading industrial standard in all marine related markets. The circular series is available in three shell sizes from 2 to 16 contacts rated at 600 V from 5 to 15 Amp. When correctly maintained, the connectors are rated to in excess of 500 underwater matings while still retaining the minimum 200 megaohm insulation resistance.The complete range of inline and bulkhead connectors with associated locking sleeves and dummies are available with special materials

The low profile series was introduced to satisfy demands, from ROV, camera and oceanographic instrument manufacturers, where space was limited or a flush connection was required. The low profile connectors are available in 2 to 9 contacts rated at 600 V from 5 to 15 Amp and like the circular series are rated at over 500 wet matings.The connectors are available in all bulkhead and inline configurations and a snap on locking strap can be supplied.

The new Subconn "Micro" connector is a development of the well proven standard circular Subconn series. The product has been produced in response to an industry need for a compact, easily assembled and reliable connector for use on equipment such as Oceanographic Sensors, Electronics Bottles, Diving Equipment and general industrial applications. The Micro series is available in the same configurations as the Standard Circular range, i.e. inline plugs and receptacles and bulkheads with either pins or sockets.

 Power connectors are available for battery charging, welding and three phase power. The battery charge connector is 2 contact rated at 600 V at 30 Amp. The welding connector is a single contact with a cable size adaptor rated at 1.000 V, 250 Amp. The four contact power connector is rated at 2.500 V at 65 Amp and the in  line connector can be overmoulded to a customer specified cable. The power connector is also available in a flange mount configuration.

This range provides a series of options combining both electrical and optical connections within the one shell. The connectors utilize expanded beam technology to ensure a rugged and reliable solution for harsh environments. The emphasis of the design centres on modular construction in order to allow the widest number of options to be offered without changing shell sizes. Both Multi and Single mode fibers can be terminated and strain terminations included if required. Comprehensive optical test equipment is available to ensure optimum performance of all products.

 The bulkhead series is constructed using a stainless steel flange or through bulkhead industry standard housing with a standard Subconn® insert configuration. The connectors are extremely rugged and are ideally suited for ROV and other applications where the connectors are vunerable to physical damage. The series mates with existing Subconn® inline connectors and dummies using similar locking sleeves. There are 4 standard shell sizes with 2 to 16 contacts rated 600 V at 5  15 Amp.

The original Subconn design has frequently been used as the basis for a wide variety of specially designed connectors and these have often become standards in themselves. Design changes range from simple mold shape modifications to the use of customdesigned housings and exotic materials.
