DC4M Circular Series Dummy Connector — Overview

The DC4M is a pressure-proof dummy connector (protective cap) for 4-contact Circular series connectors, male (pins, fits female connectors). It seals the contact face when the connector is unmated, keeping seawater, sediment and mechanical damage away from the gold-plated contacts.

4 Contacts Pressure-Proof Cap SubConn Compatible

Why Use a Dummy Connector

  • Protects the contact face: gold plating corrodes and fouls quickly when left open to seawater; a capped connector mates like new after months of storage.
  • Pressure proof: a capped connector keeps its full depth rating, so an unmated spare branch does not become the weak point of a harness.
  • SubConn Compatible: the same face geometry and locking-sleeve retention as the BH / IL series it protects.
  • Deck and store service: fits service spares, harness ends on the deck of an ROV and connectors in long-term storage.
