[PSUBS-MAILIST] plug connector

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Hank,

Subconn has a 50 amp connector in which the two halves are just a pressure fit unless an optional threaded sleeve is used. I think it would certainly pull apart if you left the sleeve off. Check the “power series” product family on their website:

Best,
Alec
