MCBH10F Micro Circular Bulkhead Connector — Overview

The MCBH10F is a 10-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.

10 Contacts 600 V AC/DC 10 A per Contact 7,000 m Depth 500+ Wet Matings IP68

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 10-contact shell.
  • Pressure qualified: 1,400 bar mated design depth, 800 bar open face, so the face survives handling and storage unmated.
  • 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.

Notes for Selection

The stainless shell suits long immersion and mixed-metal housings; ten contacts give five differential pairs or a mix of power rails and signal returns.

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.
