The 1500 and 2000 series metal shell subsea connectors feature machined 316L stainless steel or titanium alloy housings — delivering the highest mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and pressure rating of any connector series in the product range. The metal shell construction is specified for the most demanding subsea environments: deep-ocean research equipment, heavy-duty ROV work-class tooling, offshore oil and gas instrumentation, and long-life permanent subsea observatories where connector replacement is impractical. The flange-mount (FCR) and bulkhead-mount (BCR) bodies are machined to close tolerances for repeatable sealing performance across thousands of mate-demate cycles.
8-pin female flange-mounted 1500 series connector — mating socket for fcr1508m. Part of the 1500 Series stainless steel metal shell range rated to 6,000 m (600 bar). All contacts are gold-plated copper alloy for low contact resistance and corrosion resistance over the connector service life. The fcr mount provides a precision bolted flange seal for subsea equipment housings. Available with matching mating male pin body.

The FCR1508F is a 8-pin female flange-mounted subsea electrical connector from RV POWER's Metal Shell 1500 Series. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel with precision-machined contacts and molded O-ring seals, the FCR1508F delivers reliable electrical performance in the most demanding underwater environments — from shallow coastal deployments to full ocean depth operations. The flange-mounting interface enables secure panel attachment on ROVs, subsea junction boxes, and offshore equipment where vibration resistance and mechanical robustness are critical.
Unlike connectors with anodized aluminum or brass bodies, the FCR1508F's stainless steel shell delivers superior mechanical strength and long-term corrosion resistance in seawater. Key advantages:

The FCR1508F uses a flange-mounting interface — four mounting holes around the connector body that bolt directly to the equipment panel. This is distinct from bulkhead-mount connectors (BCR series) that use a threaded body through a single panel hole. Flange-mount is preferred when:
The FCR1508F is part of RV POWER's Metal Shell 1500 Series — flange-mounted and bulkhead-mounted stainless steel underwater connectors available in 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8-pin configurations. All 1500 Series connectors feature:
RV POWER supplies FCR1508F stainless steel underwater connectors and pre-wired cable assemblies to ROV manufacturers, oceanographic institutions, offshore energy companies, and naval contractors worldwide.
