Marine MK Series
Marine MK Series Electrical Connectors are a new product development. Designed to compliment the Marine D Series, these Metal Key connectors utilize the Marine D Series injection moulded thermoplastic inserts within metal keyed o-ring sealed connector bodies. The modular design permits the inserts to be fitted into both plug and receptacle connector shells, simultaneously improving functionality and minimizing system variants.
About the Marine MK Series
Marine MK Series Bulkhead Connectors utilise unique technology to align the electrical contacts and manage the crimped wire terminations.
The inclusion of injection moulded thermoplastic inserts provides a robust and reliable barrier to PBOF cable di-electric fluid and water ingress at both low and high differential pressures.
Several features that define improvements within the range are subject to filed and pending UK and International patent applications.
The connectors are ‘dry mateable’ and must be mated together on the surface but they are tolerant of adverse mating conditions and atmospheric moisture. Please refer to the product datasheet for additional information.
