SPB-16-8PS
Amphenol Industrial Operations
Product details
Engineered for subsea robotics, the SPB-16-8PS by Amphenol Industrial Operations delivers unprecedented reliability in the Circular Connectors - Adapters category. With 10,000psi pressure rating and hydrogen sulfide resistance, this adapter maintains signal integrity at ocean depths exceeding 6,000 meters.The Standard design incorporates pressure-balanced oil-filled chambers that equalize to ambient depth. This innovative approach eliminates the need for bulky pressure vessels while preventing dielectric fluid contamination.Supporting Female Sockets interfaces, this adapter bridges standard topside equipment to deep-sea rated connectors. The pressure transition zone maintains proper impedance matching throughout the rated depth range.With Male Pins capability, the adapter enables hybrid power-and-data transmission through single penetrators. The design withstands 500V DC potential difference between contacts in seawater environment.The 16-8 interface utilizes high-strength duplex stainless steel with 90ksi yield strength. All materials pass NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 sour service requirements.Featuring 16-8 outputs, the adapter incorporates titanium stress cones that distribute cable termination forces. Finite element analysis verifies 3:1 safety factor at maximum rated depth.The 8 configuration was optimized for low-frequency sonar applications. Contact spacing prevents cross-talk between channels at voltages up to 300Vpp.Designed for ROV applications, the 8 output supports simultaneous power, video, and control signals. Each channel is individually tested for insulation resistance >10G in seawater.The Panel Mount option implements compact flange mounting per API 17F standards. The design allows rotation after installation for optimal cable routing.The Flange design incorporates ROV-operable handles for subsea mating. The mechanism provides tactile feedback through manipulator arms.Utilizing Bayonet Lock technology, the adapter achieves positive locking that increases with depth pressure. The mechanism requires less than 5Nm torque for operation at surface conditions.Selected for its hydrostatic strength, Aluminum maintains dimensional stability within 0.01% at full depth rating. Material properties were verified through finite element analysis.The Unshielded design uses corrosion-resistant Monel mesh achieving 70dB attenuation at 100kHz. Shield continuity is maintained through pressure-compensated interfaces.
