Product details
3M's 42-6-P pioneers new possibilities in Terminals - Ring Connectors, specifically developed for underwater robotics and subsea applications. This pressure-tolerant terminal connector delivers reliable performance at extreme depths while resisting marine corrosion.The Hook configuration features pressure-balanced oil-filled chambers. This innovative design maintains constant contact force up to 10,000psi external pressure.Engineered for 6 Stud interfaces, this terminal employs hyperbolic contact geometry. The unique shape provides 40% higher normal force than conventional designs at depth.The Free Hanging (In-Line) design enables ROV-operable connections. The torque-limited coupling mechanism prevents over-tightening during remote operations.Utilizing Crimp technology, this connector creates pressure-resistant joints. The metal-to-metal seal maintains integrity through 5,000 pressure cycles from 1atm to 500bar.Compatible with 14-16 AWG conductors, this terminal features pressure-compensated termination. The automatic adjustment maintains constant contact pressure regardless of depth.The Insulated system resists seawater absorption. Testing shows <0.1% weight gain after 1-year immersion in 35ppt saline at 50 C.Incorporating Butted Seam, this connector provides real-time integrity monitoring. The integrated sensors detect seal degradation before water intrusion occurs.The Blue coding uses photoluminescent markers for low-light identification. The markings remain visible in turbid water conditions up to NTU 50.
