[PSUBS-MAILIST] Electrical thru-hull

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Jon,I remember those subconn connectors were rated in relation to thethick insulation surrounding them. 
2 contacts current rating: 10 A per contact (max 20 A per connector)
3, 4 and 5 contacts current rating: 10 A per contact (max 30 A per connector)So it's not just the wire gauge you need to take in to consideration.There are charts like this one I just Googled for selecting required wire thickness.Wire Gauges - Current Ratings

If you tell us the diameter of the hole, I will let you know if I come across asuitable through-hull fitting.Alan

Anyone know how the delron is going to hold up to being banged on 
assuming I swing the sub around and something hits it?  Maybe a 
stainless body with a delron insert would be a better design from that 
perspective?
