DWTEK’s Micro Circular Bulkhead (MCBH) series provides compact and reliable underwater connections for power and signal transmission in demanding subsea environments. Available in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 21-contact configurations, these connectors feature durable chloroprene rubber, gold-plated contacts, multiple bulkhead material options, and a depth rating of up to 600 bar / 8,700 psi. The series is ideal for ROV systems, underwater cameras and lighting, subsea instrumentation, diver communications, and marine research equipment.
For 8-contact applications, explore the MCBH8F 8-Contact Female Micro Circular Bulkhead or the MCBH8M 8-Contact Male Micro Circular Bulkhead to find the connection option that best suits your subsea system.
1. Multimeters: It measures a variety of electrical properties. Multimeters are typically used to measure voltage, resistance, and current, in which case they are also known as volt-ohm-milliammeters, as they include wattmeters, ampmeters, and ohmmeters. Some measurement systems include measurements of additional properties, such as temperature and volume. The purpose of this testing method is to ensure DWTEK's subsea connectors are stable and of high quality for multiple applications.
2. DWTEK’s connectors all have been through the process. This is used to measure the insulation's resistance. This technique uses a comparison principle, where the resistance of the insulation is compared with the known value of resistance. As the insulation resistance rises, the moving coil's pointer goes towards infinity, while as it falls, it indicates zero resistance.
3. Tested by pressure chambers: stimulate Max. ocean depth of 6,000m and Max. temperature from -20°C to +80°C
