Description
The Cobalt 14 series of underwater connectors expands the Cobalt line with a larger shell size, offering higher current-carrying capability while delivering the same reliability and affordability that has made the Cobalt line so popular.
Featuring 316 stainless steel shells and PEEK inserts, Cobalt 14 connectors withstand long-term use in seawater at depths up to 600 meters. Connector shells are keyed and feature a scoopproof design, allowing them to be mated blind with no possibility of pin damage.
The Cobalt 14 bulkhead connector, which fits in a 14-mm hole, is available in 3-pin, 4-pin, and 10-pin Hybrid power/signal versions. Matching Cobalt 14 Cable Termination Kits allows users to install Cobalt 14 connectors directly onto their cables without using bulky and time-consuming splices. Cobalt 14 connectors achieve a hermetic seal without the need for potting or over-molding. The
electrical contacts are pressed into a machined PEEK insert, which is pressed into the
stainless steel connector shell. This simple design makes Cobalt 14 connectors more affordable
than traditional molded connectors.
The Cobalt 14 bulkhead connector fits in the same hole as the 14-mm Blue Robotics WetLink penetrator, making quick-connect and quick-disconnect possible with the Blue Robotics T500 thruster. A Cable Termination Kit allows the user to retrofit an existing Blue Robotics thruster with a Cobalt connector.
NOTE: COBALT 14 BULKHEAD CONNECTOR MUST BE USED WITH COBALT 14 CABLE OR CABLE TERMINATION KIT (sold separately).
