[PSUBS-MAILIST] MK-101 Connectors

Tue Jul 29 11:55:34 EDT 2014

Alan,
I've used both. A bulkhead connector and cable with the mateable plug on the tag end for the thru-hull penetrator, then a wet mateable fitting on the thruster itself. It makes changing a thruster very simple and keeps the clutter down, and might be a little cheaper when bought as a set.

More connector thoughts.
Would we be better off having penetrators rather than connectors?
I believe they taylor make these connectors / penetrators, so why not have a
penetrator for the through hull & a penetrator on the other end of the cable for 
fitting straight on to the thruster. Perhaps a combination of penetrator &
connector to get through any exostructure that might be in the way.
I am not hot on this subject, just learning.

Just got a re - confirmation email that has been copied below.
Now I am really confused.
Jon is confirming what I remembered a rep told me a few years ago;
that the rating is per connector not per pin.
Now I am getting a different answer.......

Hi Alan,

I called the factory and talked to Rance Dexter which is one the main Engineers, he confirmed that you can run 25 Amps per pin.

Please contact me if you have any more questions.

Jon & all,
just got an email from a subconn rep who told me the opposite.
He said you can run 25 amps per pin.
How are we supposed to get it right if they can't?
I have asked him to re-check this.

Talked to Subconn this morning.  The ratings are per unit, not pin. They have a high power BHB2M rated for 50 amps (25 per pin) in brass, aluminum, titanium, and stainless.  Pricing for PSUBS members on 50 amp brass is below $90, 50 amp stainless is below $100.
