New SEA-MATE Wet-Mate ROV Connector

摘要

SEACON (europe) Ltd has announced a new addition to it's popular SEA-MATE underwater electrical wet-mate connector range. Adapted from the standard diver mated screwed coupling version, the SEA-MATE ROV connector was primarily developed for an oceanographic subsea monitoring system which had to be modular to allow for easy installation and reconfiguration. The new connector's key requirements were that it had to be low cost with wet-mate ability to a depth of 13,500 psi (9,250 m) without using costly fluid-filled pressure compensated connector options. The new SEA-MATE ROV series fills the gap between low cost rubber molded connectors and high integrity oil-filled pressure compensated connectors. The technology adapted and enhanced in this new connector comes from the well proven WET-CON/ALL-WET industry standard connectors that have been manufactured by SEACON? for several decades.
