9 SubConn Connector Care
The following handling procedures should be adopted when using SubConn connectors:

The connector should not be exposed to long term heat or sunshine.

If this occurs, and the connectors are very dry, soak them in fresh water before use.

Ensure the connectors are lubricated - the recommended lubricant is:
-
Loctite 8021 in a spray can
or
-
Molykote 44 Medium - but use very sparingly.

Any accumulation of sand or mud in the female contact should be removed with fresh water.
Failure to do so could result in the splaying of the female contact and damage to the O-ring
seals.

When using bulkhead connectors ensure that there are no angular loads as this destroys the
connector.

Connectors must be greased with Molykote 44 Medium before every mating

A layer of grease corresponding to minimum 1/10 of socket depth should be applied to the
female connector

The inner edge of all sockets should be completely covered, and a thin transparent layer of
grease left visible on the face of the connector

After greasing, fully mate the male and female connector in order to secure optimal distribution
of grease on pins and in sockets

To confirm that grease has been sufficiently applied, de-mate and check for grease on every
male pin. Then re-mate the connector

When disconnecting, pull straight, not at an angle
