[PSUBS-MAILIST] MK-101 Connectors

[via Personal_Submersibles]

Sizable, but it would do the job. Wonder what those bits cost. A mateable bulkhead connector at the motor housing hooked to a cabled bulkhead connector at the hull would make change outs quick and easy. If you had enough cable, you could even do an in-water replacement if you had to.

      Agreed, but we should take advantage of our SUBCONN discount if we      can.  What about this one...

Since so many of us are using or planning on using MK-101s        either air or oil compensated, it would be nice if we could move        towards a standard connector.  These thrusters are 36v with max        current of 46 amps.  The lower unit comes with two 10 AWG wires.
      

      
      
It would be nice if the connector was a male bulk head        connector with two power pins and one alignment pin.  
      

      
      
Could go with an off the shelf connector like an impulse        HDBH-2-MP but these are expensive as rated for depth.  In our        case since we are pressure compensating this is overkill. 
      

      
      
For those of you that have MK-101 or MK-80 thrusters, what        type of connectors are you using?
      

      
      
Like Vance, I am planning to have a spare that could be        swapped out in the field.
