Shanghai Kabel Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd micro circular underwater connectors in 10, 12, and 16 contacts. MCBH/MCIL, IP68, 7000m depth. SubConn 10/12/16-contact drop-in compatible.
Shanghai Kabel Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd supplies MCBH and MCIL micro circular underwater connectors in 10-contact, 12-contact, and 16-contact configurations -- the high-contact-density options of the Micro Circular platform. These connectors carry more conductors in the same compact Micro Circular shell, making them ideal for ROV camera systems, multi-axis thrusters, and complex sensor suites where space is constrained but many circuits must pass through a single penetration point.
Rated to 7,000 m, IP68, PEEK insulator. Direct drop-in replacement for SubConn® MCBH10, MCBH12, MCBH16, MCIL10, MCIL12, MCIL16.

With 16 contacts in the same shell diameter, thermal dissipation per contact is reduced. The 5 A per contact limit ensures the connector runs safely within its thermal rating at full simultaneous load. For higher-current circuits, use a 10-pin or fewer connector in parallel.
Yes. A standard practice is to assign 2-4 contacts for power supply at rated current, then route all remaining contacts for signal/data. Contact our engineering team for a recommended pin assignment for your specific application.
Yes, direct cross-compatibility. Our MCBH12 shell, thread, and contact dimensions are identical to SubConn MCBH12. The mating face and thread pattern allow direct mating with OEM SubConn MCIL12 connectors in the field.
