5 Pin Micro Circular Underwater Connector -- MCIL5M & MCBHRA5F | ROV Subsea Connector
Shanghai Kabel Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd supplies 5-contact micro circular wet-mateable underwater connectors including MCIL5M (in-line male) and MCBHRA5F (right-angle bulkhead female) variants. The 5-contact format is widely used in ROV subsea systems where three power conductors and two signal/ground contacts are required in a single compact connection point.
Rated to 7,000 m depth, IP68 sealed, and SubConn® MCIL5/MCBH5 compatible.
Available Models -- 5 Contact

Frequently Asked Questions
Does MCIL5M mate with SubConn MCBH5F?
Yes. Shanghai Kabel MCIL5M is SubConn MCBH5F compatible -- direct field replacement.
What is the difference between MCBH5 and MCBHRA5?
MCBH5 is a straight bulkhead (cable exits perpendicular to panel). MCBHRA5 is a 90-degree right-angle bulkhead (cable exits parallel to panel face), saving panel depth in compact housings.
Can I get a stainless steel shell version?
Yes, MCBH5M-SS and MCBH5F-SS (stainless steel 316) are available. Lead time 2-3 weeks.
