SUBCONNconnectors
Maintenance level: 1
Periodicity: Every time before mating
Duration: 5 minutes
Equipment
Isopropyl alcohol, Loctite 8021 medium grease
Precaution
Disconnect by pulling straight, not at an angle.
Do not pull on the cable and avoid sharp bends at cable entry.
When using a bulkhead connector ensure that there are no angular loads.
Do not over tighten the bulkhead nuts.
SUBCONN connectors should not be exposed to extended periods of heat or direct sunlight. If
a connector becomes very dry, it should be soaked in fresh water before use.
We recommend to replace the SUBCONN connector every 4 years.
Preliminary
Steps
None
1. Remove any accumulated sand or mud on the connector using spray based contact cleaner
(isopropyl alcohol).
2. Apply a layer of grease corresponding to approximately 1/3 of socket depth to the female
connector.
All sockets should be completely sealed, and transparent layer of grease left visible on the
face of the connector.
3. After greasing, fully mate the male and female connector and remove any excess grease from
the connector joint.
