IL12F Underwater Connector circular series In-Line Connector 12 Pin Contact Female

IL12F Circular Series In-Line Connector — Overview

The IL12F is an 12-contact Circular series subsea in-line connector, female (sockets) face, wet-mateable and rated 10 A per contact at 7,000 m operational depth. It is factory moulded on a 2 ft (60 cm) chloroprene cable and couples through the characteristic locking sleeve, so the same part serves harness splices and hull penetrations.

12 Contacts 600 V AC/DC 10 A per Contact 7,000 m Depth 500+ Wet Matings SubConn Compatible

Key Design Features

• Wet-mateable: mate and demate in seawater; each contact carries its own moulded seal, so a single seal failure does not flood the connector.
• SubConn Compatible: the same face geometry, contact pitch and 3/4-16 UNF-2A thread, so it retrofits existing panels and harnesses without re-machining.
• Gold-plated contacts: brass UNS-C36000 contacts hold contact resistance below 0.01 Ω across the full 500-cycle life.
• 10 A per contact: rated current with a 60 A connector limit for the 12-contact shell.
• Pressure qualified: 1,400 bar mated design depth, 800 bar open face; a PEEK shell extends service to 300 bar where weight matters.
• Field serviceable: locking sleeves, O-rings and snap rings are replaceable; lead, thread and cable lengths can be specified to order.

Notes for Selection

Twelve contacts are rated 10 A per contact with a 60 A connector limit; the shell takes a 3/4-16 UNF-2A penetration (a 5/8-18 bulkhead is available for 12 contacts only).
