Marine WM Series
Marine WM Series Electrical Connectors are designed in accordance industry standard specifications. Utilising advanced materials and a unique modular design the Marine WM Series builds on familiar product features, principles and modes of operation and takes wetmate underwater electrical connector design to a new level. 5, 8 and 13 circuits are standard.
About the Marine WM Series
Marine WM Series Connectors benefit form several unique features that are defined within filed and pending UK and International patent applications.
The connectors are dry, wet and underwater mateable and utilise injection moulded thermoplastic inserts, dual di-electric pressure compensated fluid filled chambers and fluoro elastomer seals.
Please refer to the product datasheet for additional information.
