The IP68 Durable Neoprene Female Dummy Underwater Connector for Industrial Subsea Systems is a protective dummy cap for the high-current underwater connector range. It blanks an open receptacle face so seawater and debris stay out of the contacts between dives, and shares the sealed interface of the live connectors.

Product Highlights
- High-current contacts: oversized gold-plated pins and sockets keep voltage drop and self-heating low under continuous load.
- IP68 sealing: O-ring face seal plus potted cable exit hold the dry side against seawater.
- Molded neoprene / chloroprene rubber body: corrosion-resistant body for continuous immersion and salt-water service.
- Heavy-gauge cable support: rear entry accepts large conductor sizes used on power feeds and thruster lines.
- Plug, socket or mated set: supplied as cable plug, bulkhead receptacle or complete mated assembly.
- OEM/ODM: pin count, cable gauge, shell material and marking built to your drawing.

Structure & Sealing
The dummy cap carries no contacts: its sealed face matches the mating geometry of the live connectors, so fitting it to an open receptacle restores the IP68 barrier. A lanyard can be supplied to keep it with the line.
Applications
- Capping unused high-current receptacles between dives
- Protecting contact faces during storage and transport
- Sealing spare power outlets on subsea junction boxes
Customization & OEM
- Pin count, contact size and current rating matched to your cable gauge.
- Cable length, jacket material and lug or pigtail terminations to your drawing.
- Shell material options: brass, stainless steel 316L; rubber over-molding for cable joints.
- Laser marking and custom packaging for OEM programs.
Packaging & Delivery
Each connector ships with a protective cap on the mating face, packed in a foam-lined export carton. Lead time depends on configuration and quantity — contact us for a current schedule. DHL / FedEx / air / sea freight supported.
FAQ
What current can it carry?
The rating depends on pin count and cable gauge — send your load profile and we will confirm the configuration.
Can you supply a mated set?
Yes — plug, receptacle, bulkhead and ready-terminated cable assemblies can be quoted together.
Can you build to my drawing?
Yes. Contact size, shell, cable and termination can be customized; send your drawing for a proposal.
What is the lead time?
It depends on stock and customization level — contact us with your configuration for a firm date.
How is the connector sealed?
An O-ring face seal plus a potted cable exit; each unit is pressure-checked before shipment.
How do you ship?
Express (DHL / FedEx / UPS / TNT) for small lots; air or sea freight for bulk orders.
