Plug Color Configuration
Natural 316L stainless steel shell (passivated); black chloroprene rubber insulator face; gold‑plated brass pin or socket contacts; nitrile O‑rings; stainless steel coupling nut or mounting nut

Main parameters

• Model code: HYSF 5501‑1508‑0000 (Metal Shell 55 Series, hybrid contact configuration, bulkhead style)

• Contact configuration: hybrid – 15 power/signal contacts + 8 coaxial / Ethernet / high‑speed data contacts (mixed layout)

• Depth rating: 6000 meters (19685 ft) – full subsea operation

• Contact resistance: <0.01Ω (power/signal) / <0.015Ω (coaxial)

• Insulation resistance: >200 MΩ

• Electrical specification: 500V @ 6‑10A per power contact (1 mm² typical); 300V @ 1‑3A for signal

• Transmission rating (coaxial/Ethernet): up to 1 Gbit/s

• Temperature rating: -4°C to +60°C (working)

• Cycles d'accouplement: >500 wet or dry mate (with Molykote 44 grease)

• Mounting style: bulkhead (panel mount) with external thread and mounting nut

• Typical applications: ROV junction boxes, subsea data acquisition, underwater camera and lighting systems, deep‑sea observatories, oil & gas subsea control modules

Material parameters

• Connector shell: 316L stainless steel (standard); titanium optional

• Insulator face: chloroprene rubber (neoprene) – excellent dielectric and seawater resistant

• Contacts: gold‑plated brass (pins or sockets depending on gender)

• Mounting nut & washers: 316L stainless steel

• O‑rings: nitrile (NBR) 70 Shore A – seawater and hydraulic fluid resistant

• Snap ring: stainless steel (if present)

• Rear termination: pigtail leads (standard 0.5m, 1 mm² for power, 0.5 mm² for signal) or PCB pins

Dimension & Thread Specifications

• Overall length (L): 77 mm (from mating face to rear end, excluding pigtail)

• Shell outer diameter (OD): 27.5 mm (cylindrical body)

• Mounting thread: metric – typical for 55 series, e.g., M25×1.5 or M27×1.5 (refer to catalog)

• Panel cutout / mounting hole diameter: approx. 28 mm (recommended)

• Mounting nut torque: per HYSF torque table for 55 series – approx. 40‑60 Nm for stainless steel

• Mating thread (female plug side): compatible with 55 series male plug (e.g., 55R1‑1508‑0002)

• Rear termination length: customizable pigtail (standard 0.5m)

• All dimensions in mm – 1 inch = 25.4 mm
