IL8F 8-Pin Female Inline Underwater Connector \u2013 SubConn Compatible<\/h1>\n

Product Overview<\/h2>\n

\u0421\u0430\u0439\u0442 HYSF SUBSEA IL8F<\/strong> is an 8-pin female inline underwater electrical connector designed for reliable power, signal, and control connections in demanding marine environments.<\/p>\n

As part of the HYSF Standard Circular Series, the IL8F features eight gold-plated female contacts, a durable molded neoprene rubber body, and an integrated underwater cable. Its watertight construction is designed to withstand hydrostatic pressures of up to 60 MPa<\/strong>, equivalent to approximately 6,000 meters of seawater depth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With an electrical rating of 550V AC\/DC and 10A per contact<\/strong>, this connector is suitable for various underwater instrumentation, subsea monitoring, marine robotics, and offshore equipment applications.<\/p>\n

The standard IL8F is supplied with a 1-meter cable<\/strong>, while customized cable lengths and wiring configurations are available for specific projects.<\/p>\n

The connector is designed to mate with the BH8M 8-pin male bulkhead connector<\/strong> and is compatible with corresponding SubConn and SEACON Standard Circular connector interfaces.<\/p>\n

Key Features<\/h2>\n

8-Pin Female Contact Configuration<\/h3>\n

The IL8F contains eight female electrical contacts, allowing multiple circuits to be connected through a single underwater interface.<\/p>\n

This arrangement is useful for integrating:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Underwater sensors and instrumentation<\/li>\n
  • Multiple signal channels<\/li>\n
  • Electrical control circuits<\/li>\n
  • Auxiliary power connections<\/li>\n
  • Marine monitoring equipment<\/li>\n
  • Subsea communication devices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The eight-contact design reduces the need for multiple individual connectors and helps simplify underwater equipment integration.<\/p>\n

    SubConn and SEACON Compatible<\/h3>\n

    The IL8F is engineered for compatibility with corresponding SubConn and SEACON Standard Circular connector configurations.<\/p>\n

    This makes it a practical alternative for customers seeking replacement subsea connectors or compatible cable assemblies.<\/p>\n

    For existing underwater systems, the exact connector series, contact gender, and mating interface should be confirmed before replacement.<\/p>\n

    6,000-Meter Depth Rating<\/h3>\n

    Designed for operating pressures of up to 60 MPa, the IL8F provides a robust connection solution for deep-water environments.<\/p>\n

    Its molded rubber construction is intended to maintain watertight integrity under high external pressure.<\/p>\n

    Typical applications include deep-sea research equipment, underwater vehicles, offshore inspection systems, and permanently submerged instrumentation.<\/p>\n

    Wet-Mateable Design<\/h3>\n

    The IL8F belongs to HYSF SUBSEA’s wet-mateable underwater connector series.<\/p>\n

    The connector can be connected and disconnected in underwater environments when the correct mating procedures are followed.<\/p>\n

    Electrical power should normally be disconnected before mating or unmating unless the complete assembly has been specifically approved for energized operation.<\/p>\n

    Molded Neoprene Rubber Body<\/h3>\n

    The connector uses molded neoprene rubber to protect the internal electrical contacts and cable termination.<\/p>\n

    This material provides mechanical flexibility, environmental protection, and a durable watertight interface.<\/p>\n

    The molded cable entry also provides strain-relief support for the attached underwater cable.<\/p>\n

    Gold-Plated Contacts<\/h3>\n

    The eight female contacts feature gold-plated conductive surfaces.<\/p>\n

    Gold plating helps maintain electrical conductivity and reduces contact-surface oxidation, supporting reliable connections in demanding marine applications.<\/p>\n

                Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n

                Is the IL8F compatible with SubConn underwater connectors?<\/h3>\n

                Yes. The IL8F is designed for mating compatibility with corresponding SubConn Standard Circular connector configurations.<\/p>\n

                What does IL8F mean?<\/h3>\n

                IL8F identifies an eight-contact female inline underwater electrical connector.<\/p>\n

                Which bulkhead connector mates with IL8F?<\/h3>\n

                The recommended mating connector is the BH8M 8-pin male bulkhead connector<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                What is the maximum operating depth?<\/h3>\n

                The standard IL8F design is rated for up to 6 000 \u043c\u0435\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0432<\/strong> of seawater depth.<\/p>\n

                What is the electrical rating?<\/h3>\n

                The connector is rated for 550V AC\/DC and 10A per contact<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                Can the IL8F be connected underwater?<\/h3>\n

                Yes. The IL8F is wet-mateable when used according to the applicable mating procedures.<\/p>\n
