Frequently Asked Questions
Is MCIL6F compatible with SubConn MCBH6M?
Yes. Shanghai Kabel MCIL6F mates directly with OEM SubConn MCBH6M -- identical contact geometry and thread dimensions.
What is the difference between IP68 and IP69K for this connector?
IP68 covers continuous underwater submersion to 7,000 m. IP69K additionally certifies the connector to withstand 80 degC high-pressure water jets at 100 bar -- required for equipment subject to topside pressure washing. Both ratings are available; specify when ordering.
Is a stainless steel 6-pin connector available?
Yes. Stainless steel shell (316) variants are available for MCBH6M and MCBH6F. Lead time 2-3 weeks.
