LPMBH-8-FS-IM Impulse Low Profile Micro Bulkhead Connector

The LPMBH-8-FS-IM is an Impulse Compatible Low Profile Micro bulkhead subsea connector, 8-pin female (sockets) face, rated 250 V DC/AC rms at 5 A per contact (max 40 A per connector). Dimensionally compatible with Teledyne Impulse LPMBH/LPIL hardware for direct drop-in field replacement, the flat low-drag body is designed for AUV sensor payloads, gliders and compact oceanographic instruments, and is rated to 690 bar / 10,000 psi mated (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: 8 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: drop-in dimensional compatibility with Teledyne Impulse LP hardware.

Typical Applications

AUV sensor and payload connections, underwater gliders and profiling floats, compact oceanographic instrument packages (CTD, dissolved oxygen, fluorometer), ROV-mounted instrument sensors, subsea cameras and lighting on compact inspection ROVs, deep-sea landers and benthic observatories, acoustic modems and hydrophone arrays, diver instrumentation.

Notes for Selection

Impulse Compatible: dimensionally compatible with Teledyne Impulse LPMBH/LPIL hardware — verify mating thread and contact gender before installation. Install the locking sleeve before deployment. Store with dummy connectors installed; rinse with fresh water after seawater exposure. Open-face pressure rating 480 bar / 7,000 psi.

Custom configurations available Titanium coupling nut and shell hardware for weight-sensitive AUV / glider applications, factory-terminated assemblies with customer-specified PUR cable OD, matched BH + IL + DC sets, and batch or per-unit hydrostatic pressure test certificates can be specified to order.
