DNC-2058 Underwater M16 Power Bulkhead Connector with 5.5x2.1mm DC Plug
DNC-2058 is an underwater M16 power bulkhead connector designed to pass DC power into underwater housings, camera systems, strobes, CCTV setups, and custom marine electronics.
The connector uses a 5.5x2.1mm DC male plug on the internal side and allows compatible underwater systems to receive power without relying only on internal batteries.
Overview
DNC-2058 is useful when an underwater device needs continuous external power through a sealed housing wall. It can support circuits up to 24V and up to 5.0A at 12V, depending on the full system design, cable length, and connected equipment.
The built-in water block helps preserve housing vacuum integrity and provides extra protection against water ingress if an external cable or connector connection becomes damaged.

Power Use Notes
DNC-2058 can be used to power compatible low-voltage underwater devices from an external power source. Current and voltage limits depend on the full system design, including cable length, connector configuration, power source, and device requirements.
For higher-power equipment, voltage drop and cable gauge must be considered before deployment.
Water Block
The DNC-2058 underwater power bulkhead connector includes a built-in water block.
The water block helps keep vacuum inside the housing when using an AirLock vacuum system. It also helps protect the housing against water penetration if the external cable or external connector connection becomes damaged.
