HDC26-18

TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors's HDC26-18 delivers mission-critical performance in Circular Connectors - Accessories for undersea exploration systems. This pressure-tolerant accessory maintains flawless operation at depths exceeding 6000 meters while ensuring signal integrity in harsh marine environments.Designed as Cap (Cover), Protective, this solution incorporates a patented pressure compensation system that equalizes to 9000psi external pressure. Testing confirms zero dielectric fluid leakage at crushing depths.Specifically engineered for HDP20 Series Receptacle, the accessory meets API 17F subsea equipment standards. Its titanium construction resists pitting corrosion in high-salinity environments.Machined to 18 specifications with 0.002 tolerance, the component maintains perfect O-ring compression at all depths. The precision interface prevents hydrostatic lock during mating operations.The marine-grade Thermoplastic alloy demonstrates 99.9% corrosion resistance after 10-year simulated seawater exposure. The material's non-magnetic properties prevent interference with sensitive navigation instruments.Incorporating Environment Sealed, this solution provides fiber optic and electrical power in a single hybrid interface. Its pressure-balanced oil-filled design ensures consistent performance regardless of ocean depth.The Black finish incorporates biofouling inhibitors that reduce marine growth by 70%. The coating maintains adhesion through 5000+ pressure cycles from surface to full ocean depth.
