[PSUBS-MAILIST] connectors

 Wow, that's news to me.  Thanks for letting us know and I guess I'll talk to my contact at Subconn tomorrow to see what's going on.  The TITAN disaster is the only thing that makes sense.  As John suggested, maybe tell them it's for an ROV and see if that helps although if you mention PSUBS they'll likely assume it's for a manned vessel...which leaves you paying retail.

 This is news to me.  I am wondering if this is fall out from the Titan disaster.

 Jacobo is who I contacted. It may be a new regulation or something, I'm not sure. He may be willing to sell Subconns for connecting internal wires, but he wouldn't sell anything that was hull-penetrating.

 I have worked with Jacobo Aguilar for years when purchasing all kinds of Subconn connectors and never had an issue with not selling product because of being for a manned submersible.  His contact info is below:

 Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, I recently tried to place an order for Subconns and mentioned that I was with Psubs, and they refused to sell them to me for a manned submersible. There might be some kind of regulation/safety issue that they're trying to cover themselves from. I would definitely skip mentioning that you're buying them for a manned sub, maybe tell them it's for an ROV or something.

I will add to this that in addition to the SubConn / Impulse type wet or underwater pluggable connectors, in industrial / commercial applications I have also frequently made use of Conax connectors - particularly for high pressures.

 Rick, there are a few options.  If you want a commercial grade connector Subconn is an option.  Tell them you are with PSUBS and they'll give you a 30% discount.  Suburban marine is a DIY option that is likely cheaper than even the Subconn discount.  Lastly, depending upon the amps you need you could use Tyco connectors from Digikey and make your own.  I am using Tyco connectors for both my low voltage instruments and my higher power components.

 Was wondering where the best place would be to purchase two prong underwater connectors?I was getting ready to pot my wire connections for my 6 outside lights and then realized that it would be much better to be able to easily disconnect them when they go bad and not have to re pot them .
