CS-MS-J-09-CCP SEACON Compatible 9-Pin Dry-Mate Subsea Cable Connector Plug
Product Overview
The
HYSF SUBSEA CS-MS-J-09-CCP SEACON Compatible 9-Pin Dry-Mate Subsea Cable Connector Plug is a compact underwater electrical connector designed for ROV systems, subsea instrumentation, underwater cameras, marine research equipment, and offshore electrical applications.Featuring a J-size housing and nine electrical contacts, the CS-MS-J-09-CCP provides a multi-channel electrical connection in a compact connector configuration.Designed to follow the SEACON CS-MS connector interface, this cable connector plug (CCP) can be used in compatible subsea electrical systems requiring reliable power and signal transmission.The CS-MS series was originally developed for remotely operated vehicle (ROV) applications, where compact dimensions, reduced weight, and high-density electrical connections are important.Its dry-mate design allows the connector to be mated and unmated in a dry environment before subsea deployment. Once properly mated and qualified for the required operating pressure, the assembly can be submerged.The connector is suitable for applications requiring multiple electrical circuits within a single compact connection interface.Custom cable lengths, cable jacket materials, housing materials, and electrical configurations can be specified according to OEM project requirements.
Key Features and Benefits
1. SEACON CS-MS Compatibility
The CS-MS-J-09-CCP is designed around the SEACON CS-MS connector interface.The CS-MS series is widely associated with ROV systems, subsea tooling, underwater cameras, lights, and other compact underwater equipment.Its dimensional compatibility makes it a potential replacement or alternative for compatible original CS-MS cable plugs.Important mechanical parameters to verify include:
- Connector mating dimensions
- J-size shell configuration
- Coupling thread
- Keyway orientation
- Contact arrangement
- Mating-face geometry
- Cable termination dimensions
Compatibility should be confirmed against the original mating connector and approved mechanical drawings before installation.
2. Nine-Pin Electrical Configuration
The CS-MS-J-09-CCP features nine electrical contacts in a J-size connector housing.This high-density configuration allows multiple electrical circuits to be integrated into a single connector.Typical electrical applications include:
- Power distribution
- Signal transmission
- ROV control circuits
- Underwater instrumentation
- Sensor connections
- Camera and lighting systems
- Auxiliary equipment connections
- Multi-channel electrical interfaces
The nine-contact arrangement is suitable for systems requiring a combination of power and signal connections, subject to the approved electrical design.
3. Compact J-Size Housing
The CS-MS series was developed to provide compact and lightweight electrical connection solutions for ROV manufacturers and subsea equipment suppliers.The J-size configuration provides a compact connector interface while accommodating nine electrical contacts.Its small installation footprint makes it suitable for applications where available equipment space and connector weight are important considerations.
4. Dry-Mate Connection Design
The CS-MS-J-09-CCP uses a dry-mate electrical connection interface.Dry-mate connectors are designed to be connected and disconnected in air, rather than being mated or unmated underwater.After correct mating, the connector assembly can be deployed underwater within its qualified operating pressure and environmental limits.Key advantages include:
- Convenient topside connection
- Repeated mating and unmating
- Protection of electrical contact interfaces
- Suitable for ROV deployment systems
- Reduced complexity compared with wet-mate connection systems
The connector must be properly mated, secured, and inspected before subsea deployment.
5. Nine Gold-Plated Electrical Contacts
The reference compatible product specification identifies gold-plated electrical contacts.Gold plating provides a conductive contact surface and helps resist corrosion and oxidation.The reference product specifies:
- Contact resistance below 0.01 Ω
- Insulation resistance above 200 MΩ
The exact contact substrate, plating thickness, contact gender, and electrical performance should be confirmed against the approved HYSF manufacturing specification.
6. Corrosion-Resistant Housing Options
The reference compatible configuration uses 316 stainless steel for the connector housing, with titanium available as an optional material.Potential material configurations include:
316 Stainless SteelProvides mechanical strength and corrosion resistance for marine and offshore equipment.
TitaniumCan be considered for weight-sensitive applications and specialized subsea installations.The original SEACON CS-MS family uses aluminum shells as standard, with stainless steel and other material options also available.The HYSF housing material should therefore be specified according to the actual product configuration rather than assumed from the original SEACON series.
7. Chloroprene Rubber Connector Body
The compatible product reference specifies a chloroprene rubber connector body.This elastomer construction provides flexibility and mechanical protection around the cable entry and connector body.The molded rubber structure also provides strain relief and helps protect the cable termination area.The exact rubber compound and environmental qualification should be confirmed according to the selected production configuration.
8. Secure Locking Mechanism
The reference compatible configuration uses a POM or stainless steel locking sleeve.The locking sleeve helps maintain mechanical engagement between the mating connector halves during operation.Correct installation of the locking sleeve is important before subsea deployment.It helps reduce the risk of accidental disconnection caused by cable movement, vibration, and operational loading.
9. Electrical Performance
The reference compatible product specification lists the following electrical values:
- Rated voltage: 600 V AC/DC RMS
- Current: 10 A per contact
- Contact resistance: <0.01 Ω
- Insulation resistance: >200 MΩ
These values should be treated as reference specifications until confirmed by HYSF engineering tests.The maximum permissible current of the complete nine-contact connector cannot be determined simply by multiplying the single-contact current rating by nine.Actual current capacity depends on conductor size, simultaneous contact loading, cable construction, ambient temperature, and thermal conditions.
10. High-Pressure Subsea Applications
The reference compatible product listing specifies a mated pressure rating of 10,000 psi (approximately 690 bar).However, the original SEACON CS-MS family documentation specifies up to 7,000 psig for mated and open-face configurations.These are different product specifications and should not be treated as interchangeable.For HYSF applications, the actual pressure rating must be established through mechanical design verification and hydrostatic testing of the complete connector configuration.
11. Flexible Cable Assembly Options
The CS-MS-J-09-CCP can be supplied with customized cable configurations according to project requirements.Potential cable options include:
- Polyurethane (PUR) jacket
- Synthetic rubber jacket
- Customized cable length
- Customized cable outer diameter
- Customized conductor arrangement
- Shielded cable options
- Customized wire identification
- Special cable termination requirements
Cable construction should be selected according to the operating environment, electrical loading, mechanical requirements, and installation method.
12. More Than 500 Mating Cycles
The reference compatible product specification lists more than 500 dry-mate cycles.This makes the connector suitable for applications requiring repeated equipment connection and disconnection.Actual service life depends on connector handling, contact condition, cleanliness, sealing performance, and maintenance procedures.
13. Customization for OEM Projects
HYSF SUBSEA can evaluate customized configurations for subsea equipment manufacturers and system integrators.Potential customization options include:
- Housing material
- Cable length
- Cable jacket
- Cable outer diameter
- Conductor configuration
- Contact plating
- Contact wiring arrangement
- Locking sleeve material
- Cable termination
- Electrical test documentation
- Hydrostatic pressure test requirements
Customized configurations should be reviewed and approved by the engineering team before production.
