DNC-2127 Underwater Heavy-Power M16x1 Bulkhead Connector with XLR - 14 AWG
DNC-2127 is an underwater heavy-power M16x1 bulkhead connector designed for high-current power delivery through underwater housings, cinema camera systems, lights, ROV-style equipment, and custom marine electronics.
With 14 AWG power wires, XLR power connection, 16A nominal current, and a built-in water block, this connector is built for demanding underwater systems that require stronger power capability than small signal or low-current connectors.
Overview
The DNC-2127 was developed for underwater applications where stable power delivery is critical. It fits an M16x1 threaded port or a 0.625 inch / 16mm through-hole, making it suitable for many custom underwater housings and marine enclosures.
The connector body is made from marine-grade aluminum with hard anodized coating, while the contacts are gold-plated brass for reliable electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance in harsh underwater environments.
