W - Underwater

The W series is designed for high hydrostatic pressure environments, for example for underwater applications to approx. 300 metres (5 to 60 bars depending on socket size). The W series with screw locking is field-proven, and constructed for extreme conditions such as long immersion in saltwater. Multiple keys allow for high contact density and prevent mis-mating. W series connectors are suitable for test and measurement applications and the oil and gas, nuclear, chemical, marine and aerospace industries. This series offers a large selection of insert configurations, a variety of sizes and models, and electromagnetic (EMC) shielding.
