5501-1508 Dummy Plug — Burton Compatible 55 Series Underwater Dry-Mate Connector

The 5501-1508 Dummy Plug is a Burton Compatible 55 series blanking plug, 15 shell, 08 contacts. It seals the mating face of a 55 series receptacle or cable plug when the circuit is not in use, protecting gold-plated contacts from biofouling, salt, mud and mechanical damage. Pressure-rated blanking caps are available so the sealed interface withstands the same deployment depth as the mated pair.
