[PSUBS-MAILIST] Jon's new penetrators

Tue Feb 9 14:11:12 EST 2016

Hank,once the external wires are soldered to the pins, howare you intending that it is waterproofed. IE is Jon goingto pot over the wires, wire sheath & delrin.  If so what isgoing to adhere well to the delrin?Cheers Alan

Brian,If that is the case I will drill and tap from the bottom as far as possible, then drill oversize from the top so the threaded rod will slide in until it hits threads.Hank

 Hi Hank,                    Brian here, but no matter, if the threads are very long isn't it difficult to make threads going that distance?  My experience with threads are at the most an 1 1/2" long .  Would you have to get an extra long tape?    Brian

Jon,I will have to research drilling size for 1\4 inch, but yes, I will drill under size then run a tap through to make the threads.  To keep it simple, I would like to do two o-rings on the bore with an over size end to create a shoulder and then a snap ring to retain it.  You would get the penetrator with a hole or holes bored through and three grooves, two for o-rings and one for the snap ring.  All you will have to do is cut the rod to length and thread it in with some epoxy on the threads.  Hank

 Hank,    so to clarify on the Delrin, a copper threaded rod ( 1/4" for instance) would get threaded into the Delrin?  Would you just make an undersized hole then?  and the copper rod would form a thread all the way through? Brian

Jon,Great, if you can give me the measurements I can whip them up for you and you can thread the rods in.  Also let me know the grade of Derlin and I will see if I can get it here.Hank

 Don't have calipers but will get a good one soon so I can get some measurements.

  Jon, I just realized that your penetrator holes are in the aft head, so my last idea is bad!  Derlin is the way to go.  Do you have a caliber to get some accurate measurements?
