Description
The MC micro series is the most used connector for underwater applications from Birns. The mold of the connectors is made from vulcanized neoprene that makes for a durable water tight seal. Each contact can be used on 300 volt and is capable of transferring at least 8 ampere. The MC micro series is used for all Novasub underwater peripherals, such as cameras, lights and depth sensors.
The Inline connector have a 60cm cable as default, however we also have some that are longer. These are specified with the X2M code behind the name. This means that the cable is the length as specified. For example, the MCIL8FX4M is a MCIL8F with a 4 meter cable. Please find a detailed schematic of the naming convention in the datasheet.
The connectors are compatible with the same series from Subconn, Seacon and Impulse. However, please note that the pin layout for the 9-16 pin series from Subconn is different. Therefore there are 2 variants for these pin amounts, the -SU and the -BIRNS. The -SU is compatible with the Subconn series and the -BIRNS with the Birns series.
Some specific needs can also be accommodated for:
- Vulcanize a connector to a custom cable.
- Create a cable with connectors on both ends. (a patch cable)
- Create an inline connector with a specific length of cable.
