Product introduction

4 Pin Micro Circular Subsea Pluggable Underwater Connector -- MCBH4 MCIL4 | IP68 | 7000m Depth

Shanghai Kabel Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd supplies 4-contact micro circular subsea connectors -- bulkhead (MCBH4) and in-line (MCIL4) -- for general-purpose ROV, AUV, and subsea instrument applications. The 4-contact format is the standard choice for simple power + data circuits where only 4 conductors are required. Rated to 7,000 m depth, IP68, SubConn® MCBH4/MCIL4 compatible.

Available Models -- 4 Contact

Frequently Asked Questions

Does MCBH4F mate with SubConn MCIL4M?

Yes. Shanghai Kabel MCBH4F mates directly with OEM SubConn MCIL4M -- identical contact geometry and thread dimensions.

What is the maximum power per connector for 4-pin?

At 10 A per contact and 600 V rating, the theoretical maximum is 4 x 10 A x 600 V. In practice for a 2-power-contact configuration (one + one return), maximum continuous power is 10 A x operating voltage (e.g. 240 W at 24 V DC).

Can I get a titanium shell version?

Yes. Titanium Grade 5 shell available on request for all 4-contact types. Lead time 2-3 weeks.
