HYSF 5502-1508-0002 Metal Shell Subsea Inline Male Plug – 15+8 Hybrid Contact, 6000m Depth Rating, 78.3mm Length, with Cable Gland

Plug Color Configuration
Natural 316L stainless steel shell (passivated); black chloroprene rubber insulator face; gold‑plated brass pin contacts; nitrile O‑rings; stainless steel coupling nut and cable gland (size 23mm)

Main parameters

• Model code: HYSF 5502‑1508‑0002 (Metal Shell 55 Series, inline male plug, hybrid contact configuration)

• 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 (data): up to 1 Gbit/s for coaxial/Ethernet pairs

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

• Mating cycles: >500 wet or dry mate (with Molykote 44 grease)

• Mounting style: inline (free‑hanging) with coupling nut for mating to bulkhead receptacle

• Cable entry / gland: integrated cable gland with sealing range suitable for cable OD ~23 mm

• Typical applications: ROV tether cables, subsea instrumentation jumpers, underwater hybrid power & data umbilicals, deep‑sea observatory connectors

Material parameters

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

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

• Contacts: gold‑plated brass (male pins)

• Coupling nut & locking sleeve: 316L stainless steel

• Cable gland / backshell: stainless steel or POM (depending on configuration) – provides strain relief and sealing

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

• Snap ring: stainless steel (if present)

Dimension & Thread Specifications

• Overall length (L): 78.3 mm (from mating face to rear of cable gland)

• Cable gland thread or hex size: 23 mm (likely hex across flats or gland outer diameter)

• Gland sealing range: suitable for cable OD 5 mm – 23 mm? Note: 5 and 23 likely refer to:

  • 5 = minimum cable outer diameter (mm) for gland seal

  • 23 = maximum cable outer diameter (mm) for gland seal

  • Or 5 = thread length (mm), 23 = gland OD (mm) – please verify from drawing

• Shell outer diameter (approx.): 27‑30 mm (typical for 55 series)

• Mating thread: compatible with HYSF 55 series bulkhead receptacle (e.g., 5501‑1508‑0000 / 0002) – metric thread per 55 standard

• Coupling nut torque: 40‑60 Nm (stainless steel, per HYSF recommendations)

• All dimensions in mm – 1 inch = 25.4 mm
