Precautions for Handling SubConn Underwater Connectors

Handling instructions

To use SubConn underwater connectors correctly, please follow the handling instructions below:

Be sure to grease the connector before connecting it.
When disconnecting the connector, pull it straight out without bending it.
Do not bend sharply or pull hard when connecting or disconnecting the cable.
When using bulkhead connectors, do not apply a load in the perpendicular direction.
When tightening the bulkhead nut, be sure to apply the recommended torque.
Do not expose the connector to heat or direct sunlight for a long time.
If it should dry out, soak it in fresh water before use.

Before connecting, be sure to apply grease (MOLYKOTE 44 Medium) to the connector.
To the female connector, apply grease to at least 1/10 of the depth of the socket.
Grease adequately enough to make sure that the inside of all sockets is fully covered with grease and that there is a transparent layer of grease on the connector surface.
After applying the grease, check to see if the pins and sockets are optimally greased before connecting the male and female connectors.
To ensure that the grease is adequately applied, disconnect the connection and check that all the male pins are greased. Then reconnect the connector.

Before connecting, be sure to apply grease (MOLYKOTE 44 Medium) to the connector.
To the female connector, apply grease to about 1/3 of the depth of the socket.
Grease adequately enough to make sure that all sockets are completely sealed and that there is a transparent layer of grease on the connector surface.
After applying the grease, remove the grease from areas other than the connector connection area and connect the male and female connectors.

When generally cleaning or removing sand and mud adhering to the connector, use a contact cleaning agent (isopropyl alcohol) spray.
When connecting, apply fresh grease again.

Prepare a pigtail connector and a strap.

Pass two loops of the strap from the end of the pigtail connector.

After the connector is engaged, pull the strap to hook it.
*Indicate if you require a strap when ordering.
