Product details
The 516-038-542-325 by EDAC Inc. pioneers new Backplane Connectors - Housings standards for deep-sea exploration systems. This pressure-tolerant interconnect solution maintains reliable performance at ocean depths exceeding 11,000 meters while addressing the unique challenges of submersible electronics and underwater sensor networks.Featuring Housing for Non-Gendered Contacts technology, this solution maintains <0.5dB insertion loss at 1,100 bar ambient pressure for ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) telemetry systems.The Rack and Panel design incorporates pressure-balanced oil-filled chambers that prevent dielectric breakdown in hadal zone scientific instruments.With 38 pressure-compensated contacts, this solution supports multi-sensor arrays on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for marine research.The 0.150" (3.81mm) deep-sea optimized pitch spacing prevents pressure-induced arcing at 10kV potentials in underwater power distribution systems.The 9 row configuration enables reliable connections for fiber-optic multiplexers in submarine communication repeaters.Designed for Free Hanging (In-Line) installation, this connector features titanium housings that withstand seawater corrosion at all ocean depths.As Plug, this component exceeds ISO 13628-6 standards for 25-year service life in offshore oil and gas production equipment.The Backshell, Jackscrew package includes cathodic protection that prevents galvanic corrosion in mixed-metal underwater installations.The Gray housing material provides high-visibility identification for quick connection verification in low-light underwater environments.
