LPIL9F Underwater Connector Low Profile In-Line Connector 9 Pin Contact Female

LPIL9F Low Profile In-Line Connector

The LPIL9F is a SubConn Compatible Low Profile in-line subsea connector, 9-contact female (sockets) face, rated 600 V AC rms at 10 A per contact (max 40 A per connector). The flat low-profile body minimises hydrodynamic drag on AUV hulls, glider fairings and ROV sensor racks where a standard circular connector body would create unacceptable drag or spatial conflicts, and is rated to 700 bar / 10,000 psi (approx. 7,000 m).

Key Design Features

• Low-profile, low-drag body: the flat connector profile presents minimal cross-section to water flow — significantly reduces drag on AUV hulls, glider fairings and ROV sensor racks versus standard circular connector bodies.
• High contact density in a compact body: 9 contacts in a flat rectangular footprint that fits tight instrument racks and sensor clusters.
• Wet-mateable: more than 500 wet mating cycles with wiper seals protecting the contacts.
• Gold-plated contacts: corrosion-immune, stable low-resistance paths over the full operating life.
• Flexible marine build: high-grade rubber body suited for repeated dynamic bending in instrument cables and pigtails.
• SubConn Compatible: same contact sizes as the SubConn Compatible Circular series.
