The MCBH6F is a 6-contact Micro Circular bulkhead subsea connector, female (sockets) face, wet-mateable and rated to 10 A per contact (50 A per connector) at 7,000 m working depth. It mounts through a standard 7/16-20 UNF-2A hull penetration and is supplied with colour-coded PTFE leads for direct splicing inside the housing.

Key Design Features
Wet-mateable: mate and demate in seawater; each contact carries its own moulded O-ring seal, so a single seal failure does not flood the connector.
SubConn Compatible: identical face geometry, contact pitch and 7/16-20 UNF-2A thread, so it retrofits existing SubConn panels and harnesses without re-machining.
Gold-plated contacts: brass UNS-C36000 contacts hold contact resistance below 0.01 Ω across the full 500-cycle life.
10 A per contact: rated current with a 50 A connector limit for the 6-contact shell.
Pressure qualified: 1,400 bar mated design depth, 800 bar open face, so the face survives handling and storage unmated.
Brass / 316L stainless steel body: matched to the housing material to avoid galvanic couples; brass, 316L stainless, titanium, anodised aluminium and PEEK are available across the range.
SubConn Compatible — MCBH / MCIL / MCOM series; also interchangeable with SeaCon and Burton micro circular equivalents
Typical Applications
Camera and lighting on one penetration, dual sensor buses, valve and actuator control, combined power and data for instrument pods.
Notes for Selection
Six contacts raise the connector limit to 50 A, which makes this the smallest shell that can carry two independent power groups and a signal pair.
Custom configurations available
Shell material (brass / 316L stainless steel / titanium / anodised aluminium / PEEK), thread and lead length, pin-out, cable length and hydrostatic test certificates can be specified to order. Send us your drawing or mating requirement for a quotation.
