[PSUBS-MAILIST] penetrator

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,I just do a wire connection to a cable and shrink tube with good quality shrink tube. The type that has a glue in it.  I also super glue the copper wire to the plastic shield.  This is to stop water from migrating down the wire.  Hank

 Hank,          I guess they bond pretty good to the epoxy, maybe a little sandpaper.  I like your cheap genetic traits !   Any pics of how you are transitioning from the 18 gauge to a cable? I've got two penetrators ready for potting ! Brian

Brian,The penetrator I just made is 20 conductors and is solid wires, with the plastic stripped off where it goes through the epoxy.  Not sure the wire size but about 18 gauge.Hank

 Hank,               What are you using for the potted conductors for your 8 pin penetrator? Brian

Allan,I went with one penetrator to reduce the number of holes in the hull.  Yes, 11 wires are for the arm alone.  Two of those bring power from the manipulator battery inside the sub.  That gives me an emergency power supply for coms and scrubber.  I did not take construction pictures, should have though.Hank

 Hank,what did you need a 25 pin connector for?Was it for solenoids operating hydraulic valves on your manipulator?Any pictures of it being made?Alan

Hi all,before the holidays I contacted Subcom for the price of a 25 pin connector\penetrator for Elementary 3000.  In the mean time I had a suspicion that my cheap Gene would kick in, so I made a 20 pin penetrator in case it was to expensive.  I pressure tested it today and it is perfect.  The price came in today for the new penetrator at around 1,000 Canadian.  Decision made LOL. I have never attempted to make penetrator with that many contacts before.  It was a piece of cake!Hank
