Low Profile 9-Contact Subsea Underwater Connector

The Low Profile 9-Contact subsea connector provides 9 independent signal or power contacts in a compact, shallow-body design. IP68 rated, built from 316L stainless steel, and assembled with gold-plated contacts, it is ideal for ROV and AUV installations where a standard 9-pin circular connector is too large to fit the available panel space.

Key Specifications

Applications

• Compact ROV control interface connectors
• AUV sensor and actuator connections
• Subsea instrument enclosures
• Underwater LED lighting control

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between LP-9 and LP-9E (Ethernet)?

The standard LP-9 has 9 general-purpose contacts suitable for signal or low-power circuits. The LP-9E variant is wired as 8 Ethernet + 1 screen for 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet. Specify your application when ordering.

Is the connector available in male and female versions?

Yes -- both male (pin) and female (socket) versions are available in panel-mount and inline cable-end styles.

Can the contacts carry both power and signal?

Yes -- any of the 9 contacts can be assigned to power (up to 10 A) or signal use. Custom wiring diagrams are supported.
