Key Design Features

• Standard receptacle mount: the BCR is the single-hole bulkhead receptacle of the 55 series family — less expensive than the FCR and compatible with any 55 series plug. When used with a right-angle plug (55R1), a BCR retaining ring replaces the tapped threads to preserve keyway orientation.
• Industry Standard Compatibility: mates with existing Burton 5500 series hardware — drop-in replacement without re-machining panels.
• Proven sealing technology: O-ring face seal with socket inserts in a moulded neoprene insulator.
• Heavy-duty stub Acme threads: rugged finger-tight coupling resistant to vibration and handling damage.
• Deep-water capable: mated pressure rating 10,000 psi (approx. 689 bar); ≥ 500 mating cycles.
• Material options: 316L stainless steel standard; Titanium, Aluminium Bronze, Alloy 625 and PEEK body options on request.

Notes for Selection

Shell sizes 15, 20, 24 (and 32) with from 3 up to 39 contacts; PBOF and pressure-rated blanking caps available. Dry-mate design: mate and demate in dry conditions only, de-energised. Inspect O-rings and inserts, and apply a thin film of silicone grease to the O-ring surfaces before each deployment; flush with fresh water after recovery.
