Q: Is a locking sleeve required?
A: Yes - mandatory before every deployment to prevent accidental de-mating.
Q: Can this connector be mated underwater?
A: Yes - wet-mate rated to 300 m. De-energise circuit before mating underwater.
Q: What is the service life?
A: Over 500 wet-mate cycles with proper maintenance. Replace O-rings every 2 years.
Q: Do you supply factory-terminated cable assemblies?
A: Yes - contact [email protected] with cable spec and length.
Q: Are dummy plugs available?
A: Yes - FSD/MPD range covers all pin counts.
Q: Is the connector IMCA compliant?
A: Yes - meets IMCA D 035 requirements.
Q: What is the mating counterpart?
A: MP (male pin) mates with FS (female socket). Both available in all RMG/RMK pin counts.
Installation, Mating and Maintenance Guidelines
Mating Procedure
(1) Inspect contacts - clean if contaminated. (2) Inspect O-rings - apply silicone grease. (3) Align and push straight - no twisting. (4) Push until fully seated. (5) Install locking sleeve immediately. (6) IR test before energising.
Deck Handling
Install dummy plugs before water entry. Rinse with fresh water after seawater exposure. Inspect rubber body after every dive. Replace any connector with damaged body immediately.
Storage and O-Ring Maintenance
Store with dummy plugs installed, dry and UV-shaded. Lubricate O-rings before each use. Replace O-rings every 2 years or on visible damage.
