[PSUBS-MAILIST] MK-101 Connectors

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Cliff,
what about the max contact amp ratings on those connnectors?
I thought you said you needed something that could take 46 amps.

Jon, a BHB2M to me looks about right.  10AWG pins to match the 10AWG for the MK-101.


The port on the MK-101 is 1-1/8 x 18    So it would be easy to machine an adaptor to accept this 5/8-18 male BH fitting.

Can you get a price on these with the Psub discount?

There probably enough space to drill a 1/16 hole in this machined part and connect a 1/4" Swagelok fitting perpendicular to the axis to connect an air compensation connection if you did not want to drill and tap into body of MK-101.

Agreed, but we should take advantage of our SUBCONN discount if we
      can.  What about this one...

Since so many of us are using or planning on using MK-101s either air or oil compensated, it would be nice if we could move towards a standard connector.  These thrusters are 36v with max current of 46 amps.  The lower unit comes with two 10 AWG wires.

It would be nice if the connector was a male bulk head connector with two power pins and one alignment pin.  

Could go with an off the shelf connector like an impulse HDBH-2-MP but these are expensive as rated for depth.  In our case since we are pressure compensating this is overkill. 

For those of you that have MK-101 or MK-80 thrusters, what type of connectors are you using?

Like Vance, I am planning to have a spare that could be swapped out in the field.
