Square-Flange Underwater Connector with Thread Locking

Description: Square-flange underwater connector with external thread locking. Hermetic bulkhead penetration ensures secure, watertight mating in subsea housings.

This flange connector variant uses a coarse external locking thread on the receptacle spigot, so heavy line-side couplings can be run straight onto the body. It carries a multi-contact insert with individually sleeved leads out of a machined square flange — a rugged choice for housings that see frequent matings or large plugs.

Product Highlights

  • Coarse locking thread on the spigot: large line-side couplings thread directly onto the receptacle — no adapter needed.
  • Square 4-hole flange: positive bolt-down mounting with a compressed O-ring under the flange.
  • Multi-contact potted insert: several circuits through one penetration, leads individually sleeved.
  • Machined stainless body: stiff flange and thread that survive repeated assembly cycles.

Structure & Sealing

The flanged body bolts to the housing wall with the O-ring compressed beneath. The spigot carries a coarse external thread; the line-side plug or coupling screws directly onto it, seating its face seal against the spigot shoulder. The rear insert is potted and the leads leave individually sleeved.

FAQ

What plugs fit the spigot thread?
The thread is cut to your specification — send the mating part drawing and we will match it.

Is this a different insert from the standard flange model?
The insert family is shared; the difference is the external locking thread on the spigot.

Can leads be extended to a junction box?
Yes, we can supply the connector with a tail harness to your length.

What is the lead time?
It depends on the machining options — contact us with your configuration.
