The ip68 subconn Compatible bulkhead socket underwater circular connector for rov auv is an IP68-rated micro circular circular connector for subsea vehicles and instruments. Multi-pin gold-plated contacts pass power and signal through a single sealed penetration, and the threaded coupling nut keeps the mating face watertight in service. The bulkhead pattern mounts through a housing wall so the wet side mates outside and the dry side is wired inside.

Product Highlights
- One sealed penetration: power and signal contacts cross the housing wall through a single O-ring sealed interface.
- Machined stainless steel housing (316L on request): corrosion-resistant shell machined for seawater service.
- Gold-plated contacts: low contact resistance and corrosion resistance over long subsea deployments.
- IP68 sealing: O-ring face seal plus potted cable exit keep the dry side isolated from seawater.

Structure & Sealing
Contacts are carried in a molded insulator inside machined stainless steel housing (316l on request). Sealing is achieved by an O-ring face seal on the mating interface and a potted cable exit on the rear; the threaded coupling nut holds the pair together under tension without tools. When mated, the seal faces compress so the wet-side circuit stays isolated from the dry-side housing.
Applications
Customization & OEM
- Pin count, contact type (power / coax / fiber hybrid) and shell size built to order.
- Cable length, jacket material and pigtail terminations to your drawing.
- Laser logo marking and custom packaging for OEM programs.
Packaging & Delivery
Each connector ships in an ESD-safe bag 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.
