MCIL Series vs MCBH Series
Understanding the difference between MCIL (inline) and MCBH (bulkhead) connectors:
| Feature | MCIL (Inline) | MCBH (Bulkhead) |
|---|---|---|
| Mounting Style | Cable-to-cable connection | Panel/housing penetration |
| Typical Application | Cable extensions, junctions | Sensor housing, equipment walls |
| Installation | In-line with cable run | Mounted through bulkhead/panel |
| Housing Design | Cylindrical, cable entry on both ends | Flanged, cable entry on one side |
Typical Applications for 10-Pin Connectors
The 10-pin configuration is ideal for applications requiring multiple signal and power channels:
| Application | Typical Pin Assignment | Industry |
|---|---|---|

| Hydrophone Arrays | 8x audio channels + 2x power | Acoustic monitoring |
| AUV Communication | 4x data + 2x control + 4x power | Autonomous vehicles |
Pin Configuration Options
MCIL10 connectors support flexible pin assignments for mixed signal and power applications:
Standard Configurations
- All Signal: 10x signal pins (RS232, RS485, Ethernet, analog)
- Mixed (6+4): 6x signal + 4x power (common for powered sensors)
- Mixed (8+2): 8x signal + 2x power (data-intensive applications)
- Mixed (4+6): 4x signal + 6x power (power-intensive devices)
- All Power: 10x power pins (high-current distribution)
Custom Pin Assignments
For specific applications, HYSF can configure custom pin assignments:
- Specify pin-by-pin requirements (e.g., Pin 1-4: RS485, Pin 5-8: 12V power, Pin 9-10: ground)
- Provide wiring diagram or pinout table
- We’ll configure connectors and provide test reports
- No additional charge for standard custom pinouts (100+ piece orders)
Cable Compatibility
MCIL10 connectors are designed for multi-conductor underwater cables:
| Cable Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Conductor Count | 10+ conductors (recommended) |
| Conductor Size | 0.14-1.5mm² (26-16 AWG) |
| Cable OD | 6-12mm (fits standard cable glands) |
| Cable Type | Multi-conductor shielded underwater cable |
| Jacket Material | PU, TPU, PE (compatible with connector backshell) |
Installation and Termination
Termination Methods
- Solder Cup: Traditional method, reliable connections, requires soldering skill
- Crimp Contacts: Faster, more consistent, requires crimping tool (recommended for production)
Installation Steps
- Prepare Cable: Strip outer jacket to expose individual conductors (15-20mm)
- Strip Conductors: Strip each conductor insulation (3-5mm for solder cups)
- Tin Wires: Apply solder to wire ends for easier insertion
- Solder/Crimp: Attach wires to contact tails (follow pin assignment diagram)
- Insert into Housing: Carefully place terminated insert into connector body
- Install Backshell: Secure cable with strain relief and backshell nut
- Test: Perform continuity and insulation resistance tests
- Seal: Apply thread sealant (optional) and mate connectors
Required Tools
- Wire Strippers: Precision strippers for small gauge wires (0.14-1.5mm²)
- Soldering Iron: Temperature-controlled, fine tip (for solder cup termination)
- Crimping Tool: Ratcheting crimper for consistent crimps (for crimp contacts)
- Multimeter: For continuity testing
- Megohmmeter: For insulation resistance testing (recommended)
- Torque Wrench: For proper backshell tightening (0.8-1.2 N·m)
