BCR1508F 1500 Series Bulkhead-Mounted 8-Pin Female Stainless Steel Underwater Connector

BCR1508F Stainless Steel BCR Bulkhead-Mounted 8-Pin Female Underwater Connector — 1500 Series

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 bulkhead-mounted 1500 series connector for threaded panel mounting. 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 bcr mount provides a threaded bulkhead penetration for subsea equipment housings. Available with matching mating male pin body.


Key Design Features

  • 316L stainless steel body — maximum corrosion resistance
  • 8-pin female contact insert — gold-plated copper alloy
  • BCR Bulkhead-mount rated to 6,000 m (600 bar)
  • Multiple O-ring sealing stages for redundant pressure protection
  • Compatible with full 1500 Series mating bodies
  • Suitable for permanent deep-sea subsea installations

BCR1508F 1500 Series Bulkhead-Mounted 8-Pin Female Stainless Steel Underwater Connector

The BCR1508F is a 8-pin female bulkhead-mounted subsea electrical connector from RV POWER's Metal Shell 1500 Series. The bulkhead-mounting design uses a threaded body that passes through a single panel hole with a backnut for retention — ideal for enclosures where flange mounting is impractical and space is at a premium. The 316L stainless steel body provides exceptional seawater corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, making the BCR1508F the connector of choice for demanding ROV, subsea, and offshore applications.

Bulkhead Mounting: Compact, Versatile Panel Integration

The BCR1508F's single-hole bulkhead mounting simplifies installation compared to flange designs:

  • Single panel hole — lower risk of panel weakening vs. multi-hole flange cutouts
  • Compact footprint — no flange clearance needed; fits tight enclosures and narrow bulkheads
  • Backnut retention — torque-controlled backnut compresses the panel seal evenly around the body
  • 360° rotation — connector body can be oriented in any direction before tightening the backnut
  • Retrofittable — swaps into existing single-hole panel cutouts without modifying the enclosure

Applications

  • ROV Tool Skids — Compact connectors for modular intervention tool skids where enclosure space is limited. Bulkhead mount fits standard ROV frame tubes and pod enclosures.
  • Subsea Control Panels — Bulkhead feed-through connectors for subsea control modules where flange cutouts would compromise enclosure integrity.
  • Offshore Platform Enclosures — Subsea instrumentation housings and junction boxes requiring reliable single-hole panel penetrations.
  • Underwater Camera Systems — Compact connector for underwater observation systems in limited-form-factor housings.
  • Aquaculture Cage Systems — Stainless steel cage monitoring equipment with limited panel thickness — bulkhead mount is ideal for thin-walled cage frame tubes.
  • Naval Auxiliary Systems — Hull penetrations and submarine auxiliary equipment where seawater exposure is continuous and long-term.

RV POWER Metal Shell 1500 Series

The BCR1508F is part of RV POWER's Metal Shell 1500 Series — stainless steel underwater connectors available in both bulkhead-mount (BCR) and flange-mount (FCR) configurations, with 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8-pin options. All 1500 Series connectors feature 316L stainless steel construction, gold-plated contacts, and IP68-rated sealing for reliable subsea performance.
