Twelve Male Electrical Contacts<\/h3>\n<p>The BH12M features twelve male electrical contacts within a single circular bulkhead interface.<\/p>\n<p>This allows multiple electrical circuits to be routed through one connector installation.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the approved electrical configuration, the contacts can be allocated to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sensor power connections<\/li>\n<li>Equipment control circuits<\/li>\n<li>Instrumentation channels<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring signals<\/li>\n<li>Auxiliary electrical functions<\/li>\n<li>Suitable communication interfaces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The twelve-contact design can help reduce the number of individual enclosure penetrations required in complex subsea equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Actual circuit allocation must account for voltage, current, conductor specifications, and signal integrity requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Fixed Bulkhead Mounting Design<\/h3>\n<p>The BH12M is designed for installation through the wall of a pressure housing or underwater equipment enclosure.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike a cable-mounted inline connector, the bulkhead configuration provides a fixed electrical interface between the internal electronics and an external cable assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Its threaded mounting arrangement enables mechanical installation into a properly machined enclosure.<\/p>\n<p>The connector must be installed with the appropriate sealing components to maintain the integrity of the housing.<\/p>\n<p>Correct mounting dimensions, sealing geometry, and thread specifications should always be verified using the approved drawing for the exact connector variant.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Marine-Grade 316L Stainless Steel Housing<\/h3>\n<p>The standard BH12M uses a <strong>316L stainless steel housing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>316L stainless steel is widely used in marine equipment because of its corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and durability.<\/p>\n<p>It is suitable for many seawater-exposed applications where the connector housing must withstand demanding environmental conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Alternative housing materials, including anodized aluminum, may be available for specific configurations.<\/p>\n<p>When selecting a connector for an aluminum enclosure, engineers should evaluate the risk of galvanic corrosion and select an appropriate installation method.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Wet-Mateable Connector Interface<\/h3>\n<p>The BH12M belongs to the HYSF Standard Circular wet-mateable connector family.<\/p>\n<p>It is designed to mate with the corresponding IL12F female inline connector.<\/p>\n<p>Wet-mateable construction supports underwater connection and disconnection under the applicable operating conditions.<\/p>\n<p>This is valuable for modular subsea equipment, underwater inspection tools, removable sensors, and marine research systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> Electrical power should be isolated before mating or unmating.<\/p>\n<p>Wet-mateable does not automatically mean the connector is suitable for hot-plugging under electrical load.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Deep-Sea Pressure Capability<\/h3>\n<p>The HYSF Standard Circular series is designed for operation at depths up to <strong>6000 meters<\/strong>, equivalent to approximately <strong>60 MPa<\/strong> hydrostatic pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The BH12M provides a suitable bulkhead interface for deep-water applications when used with the correct mating connector and installation arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>Overall pressure capability depends on the complete assembly, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bulkhead connector<\/li>\n<li>Enclosure wall<\/li>\n<li>Mounting seal<\/li>\n<li>Mating cable connector<\/li>\n<li>Electrical terminations<\/li>\n<li>Installation quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All components must be suitable for the intended operating depth.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Gold-Plated Electrical Contacts<\/h3>\n<p>The BH12M features gold-plated electrical contacts designed to provide stable electrical connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>Gold plating helps reduce contact surface oxidation and supports reliable mating performance when the connector is properly maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Contact reliability is especially important for underwater systems where repair and replacement may require significant time and operational resources.<\/p>\n<h3>7. SubConn and SEACON Compatibility<\/h3>\n<p>The HYSF Standard Circular series is designed for mating compatibility with corresponding SubConn and SEACON Standard Circular configurations.<\/p>\n<p>The BH12M can therefore be considered for compatible replacement applications and new subsea equipment designs.<\/p>\n<p>Before installation, verify:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connector series<\/li>\n<li>Contact count<\/li>\n<li>Male\/female configuration<\/li>\n<li>Contact arrangement<\/li>\n<li>Mating dimensions<\/li>\n<li>Mounting thread<\/li>\n<li>Sealing requirements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A compatible mating interface does not automatically guarantee that the bulkhead will fit an existing panel opening.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Internal Wire Lead Configuration<\/h3>\n<p>The standard BH12M is supplied with approximately <strong>0.3 meters of internal wire leads<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These leads connect the bulkhead interface to the electrical equipment inside the pressure housing.<\/p>\n<p>Custom lead lengths and termination arrangements can be configured for specific installation requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The actual wire identification should be verified against the approved production drawing.<\/p>\n<h2>\u6280\u8853\u4ed5\u69d8<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>\u30d1\u30e9\u30e1\u30fc\u30bf<\/th>\n<th>\u4ed5\u69d8<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Brand<\/td>\n<td>HYSF SUBSEA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Model<\/td>\n<td>BH12M<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Product Type<\/td>\n<td>Male Bulkhead Underwater Connector<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Connector Series<\/td>\n<td>Standard Circular<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Contact Configuration<\/td>\n<td>12-Pin Male<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rated Voltage<\/td>\n<td>550V AC\/DC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rated Current<\/td>\n<td>10A per Contact<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Standard Depth Rating<\/td>\n<td>6000m \/ 60 MPa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mating Type<\/td>\n<td>Wet-Mateable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Standard Housing Material<\/td>\n<td>316L\u30b9\u30c6\u30f3\u30ec\u30b9\u92fc<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Alternative Housing Material<\/td>\n<td>Anodized Aluminum, Subject to Configuration<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Contact Finish<\/td>\n<td>Gold-Plated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Standard Internal Wire Length<\/td>\n<td>0.3m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Primary Mating Connector<\/td>\n<td>IL12F<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Protective Dummy Plug<\/td>\n<td>DC12F<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mounting Type<\/td>\n<td>Threaded Bulkhead<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Series Mounting Thread<\/td>\n<td>3\/4-16 UNF-2A for the Standard 12\/16\/25-Pin Configuration<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nominal Thread Length<\/td>\n<td>25mm for the Referenced Series Configuration<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mounting Accessories<\/td>\n<td>Nut, Washer, and O-Ring According to Configuration<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Compatibility<\/td>\n<td>Corresponding SubConn \/ SEACON Standard Circular<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Warranty<\/td>\n<td>12 Months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Installation note:<\/strong> The Standard Circular product range includes more than one 12-pin dimensional grouping.
