The 55 SERIES of underwater electrical dry-mate connectors contain significant design improvements over other industry standard connectors, whilst maintaining compatibility and interchangeability with them. This connector range is also available in PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) which was selected for its superior chemical resistance, excellent electrical properties, wear and abrasion resistance and light weight. This PEEK series of connectors are not affected by corrosion or cathodic delamination. Key features include:-

  • Industry Standard Compatibility
  • Proven Sealing Technology
  • Heavy Duty Stub Acme Threads (except shell size 15)
  • Pressure Rated Blanking Caps available

Pressure rated to 10,000 psi (22,500ft/7,000m), the 55 SERIES is available in 5 shell sizes with up to 24 contacts with PBOF (Pressure Balanced Oil Filled) options. Manufactured from 316L Stainless Steel as standard, other materials are also available upon request including Titanium, Aluminium Bronze and Alloy 625.

This connector range is suitable for a variety of applications including ROV’s, underwater cameras, diver communications, lights and pan and tilts.
