Marine SM Series

Marine SM Series Electrical Connectors were initially designed to meet a customer design brief and are intermateable with specific industry standard connectors.  Utilising superior materials and a unique modular design the Marine SM Series not only met the brief but when fitted within bespoke shells, provides users with a significantly reduced options list in which to build a fully functional system.

About the Marine SM Series

Marine MK Series Connectors  benefit form several unique features that are defined within filed and pending UK and International patent applications.

The connectors are wet-pluggable and utilise injection moulded thermoplastic inserts, individual elastomer seals and metal keyed shells.

The inserts can be fitted within either plug or receptacle connector bodies and utilize unique crimp terminations and boot seals.  Please refer to the product datasheet for additional information.
