Conector trecător de bornă - Bolțuri 3/8"-16 (Negru)

A bulkhead connector is a device designed to allow safe passage of electrical cables through a bulkhead, hull, or deck while maintaining circuit integrity and protecting the cable. It connects equipment on either side of a wall, ensuring a reliable and watertight connection.

The primary function of the BLUE SEA 2203-BSS through-hull connector is to secure the passage of high-current cables through hulls, decks, or bulkheads. It prevents cable abrasion and provides strain relief for large-section cables, ensuring reliable and protected electrical distribution.

The body of the BLUE SEA 2203-BSS through-bulkhead connector is made of black reinforced thermoplastic. Specifically, this material is ZYTEL PA66 FR50NC010, which provides insulation for the bulkhead stud and offers good resistance.

The connection studs of the BLUE SEA 2203-BSS through-bulkhead connector are made of tinned copper alloy. The tin plating ensures high conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance, particularly important in a marine environment.

This specific model, the BLUE SEA 2203-BSS, is black in color. It is identified as the black version of the small through-hull connector.

The BLUE SEA 2203-BSS through-bolt connector is designed to handle a maximum continuous current of 250 amperes (DC).

This bulkhead connector is suitable for systems operating at a maximum DC voltage of 48 volts.

The BLUE SEA 2203-BSS through-hull connector has an IP66 protection rating.

The IP66 rating means the connector is fully protected against dust (first digit 6) and protected against powerful water jets from any direction (second digit 6). This makes it suitable for harsh marine environments and water splashes.

Yes, the connector studs are made of tin-plated copper alloy, providing excellent corrosion resistance essential for reliable use in a marine environment.

For optimal installation, a Ø 24 mm or Ø 7/8" (approx. 22.2 mm) mounting hole is recommended for this connector.

The connector is designed to be mounted using #10 or M5 screws.

The recommended torque for the connector studs is 11.3 Nm (Newton-metres) or 100 in-lb (inch-pounds) to ensure secure connections.

The mounting face of the connector is designed to be sealed or coated with a suitable sealant to ensure a perfectly watertight installation through the bulkhead.

Available information does not indicate that mounting screws are included with the connector. It is generally necessary to purchase #10 or M5 screws separately.

The connector body is approximately 33.3 mm (1.31 inches) thick. The studs have a total length of about 79.4 mm (3.13 inches). This means there is roughly 23 mm of threading available on each side after passing through the body. The connector can pass through a bulkhead thick enough to secure nuts and terminals on each side.

This connector is ideal for installations requiring high-current power cables, particularly for equipment such as windlasses, electric winches, or other high-power marine devices.

The connector's mounting studs have a 3/8"-16 UNC thread. This means a nominal diameter of 3/8 inch with 16 threads per inch, Unified Coarse (UNC) thread form.

The 3/8"-16 studs are designed to accommodate large-section cable lugs, typically used for high currents. Compatibility will depend on the lugs used, which must match a 3/8" hole for the stud and be sized for the cable gauge.

This specific product is model 2203 (black). There is also a red variant, identified by part number 2204, but this product is the 2203-BSS black.
