LPMBH-3-MP-IM Low Profile Micro Bulkhead In-Line 3-Pin Male Plug Connector — Impulse LP Series
The LPMBH-3-MP-IM is a 3-pin male plug micro low-profile connector combining bulkhead-mount body geometry with in-line cable entry — providing a compact, space-saving solution for ROV and AUV installations requiring a 3-pin signal or power+signal connection through a minimal-footprint body. The Impulse Low Profile (IM) designation indicates this connector meets the dimensional and performance requirements of the Impulse LP connector series, making it compatible with the Impulse LP mating socket standards used on many ROV systems. Gold-plated contacts; EPDM seals; anodised aluminium body; depth rated to 3,000 m.
