SHIPBUILDING

Salt, spray, and surge.
Built to endure.

MIL-DTL-38999 and waterproof connectors for naval combat systems, commercial vessels, offshore platforms, and submarine applications. 1,000-hour salt spray rated.

MARINE CHALLENGES
The ocean tests everything
Shipboard connectors face the most corrosive environment in engineering: continuous salt spray, high humidity, fuel/oil exposure, bilge submersion, and shock from underwater explosions. A connector that passes lab tests but corrodes at sea puts the entire vessel at risk.

1,000-Hour Salt Spray

Stainless steel and marine bronze shells with cadmium or zinc-nickel plating. Tested to 1,000 hours salt fog per ASTM B117 โ€” double the standard aerospace requirement.

๐Ÿ’ง

IP68 Submersion Rated

Waterproof to 10m depth. Double-sealed with environmental wire seals and interfacial O-ring. Tested post-salt-spray to verify seal integrity doesn't degrade.

๐Ÿ’ฅ

Shock & Shock-Hardened

MIL-S-901D shock-qualified configurations for naval combat systems. Maintains electrical continuity through hammer shock and underwater explosion simulation.

๐Ÿ”ฅ

Fire-Resistant

Low-smoke, zero-halogen insert materials. Flame-retardant to UL 94 V-0. Suitable for enclosed shipboard compartments with strict fire safety requirements.
