[PSUBS-MAILIST] MK-101 Connectors

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Cliff, see my previous note to Alan.  Forget the subconn site, go 
through the Macartney site at
http://macartney.com/systems/infrastructure/subconn%C2%AE

SubConn does have a true 50amp per pin connector but it has four pins 
with a max connector rating of 200 amps, model HPBH4.  They don't show a 
two pin model but maybe we should ask if they can produce it for us.

And for the classification discussion, they make a one pin monster power 
connector rated for 250 amps.
