58443-001

Amphenol ICC (FCI)'s 58443-001 redefines reliability in Pluggable Connectors for marine electronics. Specifically engineered to withstand saltwater corrosion, this connector system exceeds ISO 8099 standards while providing secure power and data connections in demanding maritime applications.The Plug design incorporates robust sealing features. Triple O-ring arrangements prevent water ingress at depths up to 10 meters, making it ideal for sonar equipment and underwater ROV connections.As a Multi-Standard Pluggable 4x specialist, this component supports hybrid power/data transmission. 8-pin circular versions deliver 30A power alongside 10Gbps Ethernet, simplifying wiring in modern navigation system installations.With 8 Signal Pairs contacts, the connector optimizes vessel systems. 12-pin versions support NMEA 2000 networks with dedicated power, signal and grounding contacts for clean power distribution.Engineered for Free Hanging (In-Line) requirements on vessels, the connector features stainless steel mounting hardware. Bulkhead versions withstand 500-hour salt spray testing without corrosion, exceeding marine grade requirements.The Solder Cup system ensures reliable connections in wet environments. Crimp-and-seal contacts prevent capillary action water migration, maintaining <5m resistance after 1000 thermal shock cycles.Gold selection combats saltwater corrosion. Gold-nickel with palladium barrier layers demonstrates 10x better performance than silver in marine atmosphere tests.
