12-core watertight aviation connector

Description: 12-core watertight aviation connector. IP68 watertight aviation connector for ROV, AUV and subsea equipment; MOQ 1 piece, OEM/ODM welcome.

The 12-core watertight aviation connector packs twelve gold-plated contacts into a compact circular stainless steel shell. It is intended for instruments and vehicles that need many independent circuits — camera power, lighting, telemetry and control — through one sealed penetration instead of several.

Product Highlights

  • 12 independent circuits: twelve gold-plated contacts in one compact shell keep the harness tidy and the penetration count low.
  • Compact circular body: smaller envelope than two smaller connectors doing the same job, saving wall space on the housing.
  • Watertight by construction: O-ring face seal plus potted rear keep both the mating face and the wire exit dry.
  • Labeled pigtail exit: each core is sleeved and numbered at the factory for straightforward assembly.

Structure & Sealing

A machined stainless steel receptacle passes through the housing wall; twelve contacts are carried in an insulating insert and potted at the rear. The plug couples with a threaded ring that compresses the face O-ring, so mating torque — not hand pressure — sets the seal. Pigtail wires leave through a strain-relieved, potted exit.

Packaging & Delivery

Each connector is shipped in an ESD-safe bag with a protective cap on the mating face, packed in a foam-lined carton. Lead time depends on configuration and quantity — contact us for a current schedule. DHL / FedEx / air / sea freight supported.

FAQ

Can part of the 12 cores carry power and part carry signal?
Yes. Mixed power / signal arrangements are a standard customization; send us the circuit list.

Is a keyway or anti-misinsert feature available?
Polarization options can be added so the plug only mates one way. Mention it when requesting a quote.

What information do you need for a quotation?
Contact count, shell material, cable exit type and operating depth are enough for a first quotation.

Do you ship worldwide?
Yes, standard export packing with DHL / FedEx / air / sea freight.
