[PSUBS-MAILIST] MK-101 Connectors

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Jon,
thanks for that link.
No I asked about the 25 amp 2 pin connector we were discussing earlier.
But I am happy with the answer you got as it confirms what I was told a couple
of years ago.
Alan

Alan, 
The specs on the SubConn site are old and incorrect.  I discussed
      this with Jennifer and she said that information has not been
      updated yet.  You need to go through the Macartney website at http://macartney.com/systems/infrastructure/subconn%C2%AE which has the updated specs.  Those specs make it very clear, 25 amps per pin, 50 amps per connector.

If you want to confirm you need to ask your question in reference
      to the 3 or 4 pin model.  By referencing the 2 pin model as you
      did, the answer to your question is "no, 25 amps" because the
      connector housing is rated at 50 amps and you can run 25 amps
      through each pin.

Jon
