Flat (FL) and FAWL: Aquamate Flat (FL) and FAWL Connectors are for applications requiring a miniature, right-angle connector. These wet-mateable handy connectors are available in two types:

FAWL : for full compatibility with other manufacturers' units.

FL : incorporates a heavier ø 2 mm (5/64") pin for more robust duty and greater current load.

FCR/BCR Metal Shell Series: Zevulun Metal Shell Connectors are designed for heavy-duty use.

The 1500 and 2000 Series Connectors are fully compatible with Subconn and are available in pin configurations from 2-8 contacts; flange (FCR) or hex (BCR) shells. The mating cable for the 1500 Series is the Mini-Connector (MC) cable, and the mating cable for the 2000 Series is the Standard Circular (SC).

5500 Series: The 5500 Series is fully compatible with Burton connectors and is available in pin configurations from2-20 contacts. The three currently available shell sizes are 15, 20 and 24. All are standard in 316 Stainless Steel but can be ordered in Titanium as well.

Rubber Molded (RM): BIRNS Aquamate Rubber Connectors are ideal for light-to-medium power or signal applications where weight and/or magnetic signature are considerations. They are made of a high insulation neoprene. They mate with each other in the "in-line" mode, and with bulkhead connectors in the BIRNS Polymeric Series. Zevulun Rubber Molded connectors are suitable for use in seawater with excellent corrosion resistance. All contacts are gold-plated and sockets are made from heat-treated beryllium copper.
Typical part number examples follow (using the "G" size as an example, and where
"X" denotes the number of contacts):

Nano Series: The new NANO series is a miniature (Ø10mm) Hermaphroditic 2 and 4 pin connector in BH, IL, and RA configurations. To be released soon.

Penetrator (PN) Series: BIRNS Penetrators are used for unmanned underwater vehicles, decompression chambers, and electronic housings that do not require a detachable electrical connection. These penetrators reliably transmit electrical power/signal through a pressure boundary without compromising the integrity of that boundary; Decrease the complexity of electrical systems by eliminating a connection point, the cable is permanently molded to the metal body of the penetrator shell; Reduce dependence on operator skill. Users are offered a choice of stainless steel or titanium inserts and polyurethane or neoprene moldings.

Custom Design: BIRNS specializes in fast turn-around solutions for special requirements. Recent examples of custom design include Ethernet high data connectors, retro-fit 24 pin communications connectors for military submarines, multi-size pin for computer-controlled underwater cutting system, and others.
