[PSUBS-MAILIST] MK-101 Connectors

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Alan,
The specs on the SubConn site are old and incorrect.  I discussed this 
with Jennifer and she said that information has not been updated yet.  
You need to go through the Macartney website at 
http://macartney.com/systems/infrastructure/subconn%C2%AE which has the 
updated specs.  Those specs make it very clear, 25 amps per pin, 50 amps 
per connector.

If you want to confirm you need to ask your question in reference to the 
3 or 4 pin model.  By referencing the 2 pin model as you did, the answer 
to your question is "no, 25 amps" because the connector housing is rated 
at 50 amps and you can run 25 amps through each pin.
