SHX15 Watertight Threaded Circular Connectors, Stainless Steel
0.5 MPa mated · stainless steel · contacts up to 40 A
YMG Marine Corrosion-Resistant Bayonet Circular Connectors
Bayonet coupling · hyperboloid sockets · 3 to 62 contacts
YMG is a bayonet-coupled circular connector for wet, corrosive shipboard environments. Hyperboloid wire-spring sockets give smooth mating and low contact resistance, both halves use solder contacts, and rain-tight sealing protects the interface. Shells are passivated stainless steel, or electroless-nickel copper or aluminum alloy.

Frequently asked questions
Is YMG waterproof?
YMG is rain-tight: sealed against rain, spray and humidity, but not intended for immersion, even short-term. For immersion, choose SHX15 or SHX16 (watertight to 0.5 MPa when mated), or the 7000 m rated SHX33/34/35.
What is a hyperboloid socket?
A socket made of fine spring wires set at an angle, forming a hyperboloid. It gives smooth mating, low contact resistance and stable contact under vibration.
Which shell material should I choose?
Passivated stainless steel (40) for the most corrosive locations (1000 h salt spray), nickel-plated copper alloy (11, 500 h) or aluminum alloy (1, 48 h) where weight matters.
