MCDC8M MICRO WET DUMMY CONNECTOR 8 Pins Underwater Dummy Plug Male

MCDC8M Micro Circular Dummy Connector — 8 Contacts

The MCDC8M is an 8-contact Micro Circular dummy connector in the male (pins) configuration. It is not an electrical part: it seals and protects an unmated 8-contact Micro Circular connector against seawater ingress, biofouling, grit and mechanical damage during storage, transit and service intervals.

8 Contacts Dummy Connector Male Version 7,000 m Depth Chloroprene Body IP68

Key Design Features

• Keyed to the shell: the dummy carries the same keyway and thread as the working connector, so it cannot be fitted to the wrong contact count.
• Same seal as the connector: the nitrile O-ring compresses against the same sealing face, keeping the unmated contacts dry.
• Chloroprene body: the same rubber as the connector body, tolerant of deck handling, UV and the full operating temperature range.
• Protects the wet-mate life: keeping the per-contact seals compressed and the bores clean is what preserves the 500-cycle rating of the working connector.
• Correct pairing: the F version covers male connectors, the M version covers female connectors.

Notes for Selection

The dummy body is the same chloroprene rubber as the connector, so it tolerates the same temperature range and handling as the part it protects.
