Subconn Circular Series
The Subconn circular series of underwater pluggable electrical connectors was introduced in the late 1970's and today is the leading industrial standard in all marine related markets. The circular series is available in three shell sizes from 2 to 16 contacts rated at 600 V from 5 to 15 Amp. When correctly maintained, the connectors are rated to in excess of 500 underwater matings while still retaining the minimum 200 megaohm insulation resistance.The complete range of in-line and bulkhead connectors with associated locking sleeves and dummies are available with special materials, cable length and configurations on request.

Subconn Low Profile Series
The low profile series was introduced to satisfy demands, from ROV, camera and oceanographic instrument manufacturers, where space was limited or a flush connection was required. The low profile connectors are available in 2 to 9 contacts rated at 600 V from 5 to 15 Amp and like the circular series are rated at over 500 wet matings.The connectors are available in all bulkhead and in-line configurations and a snap on locking strap can be supplied.

Anodized Aluminium Metal Shell Series
This series was originally developed for the geophysical industry but has now been accepted by military and the scientific marine community. The standard connectors are made from a Subconn insert in a hard anodized flange mounted body with a mating in-line connector and locking sleeve. They are available in 2, 6, 8 and 16 contacts rated 600 V at 5 Amp. The metal shell can be customized to clients specific requirements either as a flange or a bulkhead.

Subconn Power Connectors
Power connectors are available for battery charging, welding and three phase power. The battery charge connector is 2 contact rated at 600 V at 30 Amp. The welding connector is a single contact with a cable size adaptor rated at 1.000 V, 250 Amp. The four contact power connector is rated at 2.500 V at 65 Amp and the in - line connector can be overmoulded to a customer specified cable. The power connector is also available in a flange mount configuration.

Subconn Metal Shell Series
The bulkhead series is constructed using a stainless steel flange or through bulkhead industry standard housing with a standard Subconn insert configuration. The connectors are extremely rugged and are ideally suited for ROV and other applications where the connectors are vunerable to physical damage. The series mates with existing Subconn in-line connectors and dummies using similar locking sleeves. There are 4 standard shell sizes with 2 to 16 contacts rated 600 V at 5 - 15 Amp.

Subconn Micro Series
The new Subconn "Micro" connector is a development of the well-proven standard circular Subconn series. The product has been produced in response to an industry need for a compact, easily assembled and reliable connector for use on equipment such as Oceanographic Sensors, Electronics Bottles, Diving Equipment and general industrial applications. In addition to the recognised subsea applications the connectors are particularly suited to use in areas where water jetting is used for cleaning purposes or severe vibrations may be experienced during service. The Micro series is available in the same configurations as the Standard Circular range, i.e. in-line plugs and receptacles and bulkheads with either pins or sockets.

Special Connector Design
The original Subconn design has frequently been used as the basis for a wide variety of specially designed connectors and these have often become standards in themselves. Design changes range from simple mould shape modifications to the use of custom-designed housings and exotic materials.

Moulding Facilities
MacArtney A/S have their own moulding facilities and have many years of experience of both in-house and on-site moulding. Special moulds can be quickly and cheaply produced for both straight-forward and complex applications and advice can be provided regarding detail design and material selection. Primers have been selected over a number of years to allow the reliable jointing of a number of elastomeric and metallic combinations.

Subconn Hybrid
This range provides a series of options combining both electrical and optical connections within the one shell. The connectors utilise expanded beam technology to ensure a rugged and reliable solution for harsh environments. The emphasis of the design centres on modular construction in order to allow the widest number of options to be offered without changing shell sizes. Both Multi-and Single-mode fibres can be terminated and strain terminations included if required. Comprehensive optical test equipment is available to ensure optimum performance of all products.

Special Application Subconn Connectors

There are a number of special connectors in the Subconn range, many designed for specific applications. These include:
