Product details
TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine's 788090-5 represents a breakthrough in D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Backshells, Hoods technology for subsea oil and gas applications. This pressure-balanced backshell system maintains reliable connectivity at extreme ocean depths while resisting corrosive seawater exposure.As a One Piece Backshell, this component provides hydrostatic pressure compensation up to 10,000 psi while preventing hydrogen embrittlement in high-pressure hydrogen sulfide environments.Featuring 15 positions, the design supports multiplexed sensor arrays used in subsea production control systems while preventing seawater ingress.Engineered for Round underwater cables, the pressure-resistant termination maintains stable impedance characteristics despite extreme depth variations.The 180° configuration allows for smooth transitions from rigid pressure housings to flexible umbilical cables without creating stress concentration points.With Shielded construction, the backshell prevents interference from ROV thrusters and other high-current subsea equipment while meeting API 17F requirements.Constructed from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), the housing withstands 20-year service life in seawater with cathodic protection systems per NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards.The Nickel over Copper surface treatment prevents marine growth attachment while maintaining electrical performance at temperatures down to 2 C.The Dust Tight, Water Resistant implementation allows for ROV-operated connection/disconnection while maintaining IP68 sealing integrity at 10,000-meter depths.The Silver finish provides high visibility in low-light subsea environments while resisting biofouling accumulation.
