THE MOST RELIABLE CONNECTOR FOR SHALLOW WATER IMMERSION
Cabling, Mounting and Maintenance Overmolded Cable Assemblies
The SWIM Series (Shallow Water IMmersion) have been created to answer the most demanding needs for
immersion down to 300 meters/1,000 feet depth. These dry mate connector series solve the common issues
met in shallow water applications such as poor sealing and corroded contacts due to low pressure cycles.
SWIM connectors have been designed following customer feedback combined with our 50 year experience in
the subsea market.
Overmolded cable assemblies can also be provided for a quick, reliable and easy to use turnkey solution for
shallow water immersion applications.

SWIM Series | Overview
Features & Benefits
Overview
High grade materials for long term immersion
• Shells are manufactured from Peek®
- Lightweight
- No corrosion
- No cathodic delamination.
• Nylatron molded insulator
• Nitrile O-rings for excellent fluid compatibility (sea water, mineral oil…) and long service life.
• Gold plated copper alloy contacts
• RoHS compliant
Easy wiring and installation
• Scoop proof: No risk of damaging contacts during the coupling operation when using a female plug and a male
receptacle
• Easy screw coupling even with a high number of contacts
• Removable insulators: Allows for easier wiring, wiring corrections and servicing.
Shells and inserts can be stored separately for a flexible insert configuration.

Plug and in-line receptacle cable overmolding
Recommendations
SWIM plugs and In-line receptacles are designed for overmolded cable termination.
We suggest the use of a polyurethane cable jacket with a polyurethane overmold.
It is recommended to encapsulate the inside of plugs and in-line receptacles bodies with an appropriate potting
compound prior to overmolding.
Note:
- We provide SWIM overmolded cable assemblies. Please consult page 23 of SWIM Series catalog.
- Receptacles can be backpotted to increase the pressure rating and to provide greater strain relief to the
conductors.
Insert wiring
The following procedure is recommended:
1 - Slide the insert retaining nut over the cable with the notches oriented backward.
2 - Strip off the cable outer sheath as shown.
3 - Fit a heat shrink sleeve on each wire.
4 - Strip off the wires as shown.

5 - Solder the conductors into the contact buckets starting with the central pin, then in a circular motion, move outwards
toward the periphery until all contacts have been soldered.
6 - Slide the heat shrink sleeves over the terminations and up against the insulator; then with a heat gun, shrink the
sleeves ensuring that they are correctly positioned against the insulator.

Once the insulator is wired, the following procedure is recommended:
4 - Tighten the retaining nut using the retaining nut
mounting tool.
2 - Align the insertion tool with the insulator keys.
5 - Check that the insulator is fully engaged and aligned.
3 - Pre align the main insert keyway with the plug main
keyway and fully push the insert into the plug body from
the rear. Make sure the insulator is fully engaged in the
connector body and that it can’t rotate.
37
Cabling, Mounting and Maintenance
1 - Assemble the insertion tool around the cable.
SWIM Series | Cabling, Mounting and Maintenance
Bulkhead receptacles preparation
Before installing the bulkhead receptacle, the following procedure is recommended:
1 - Inspect the bulkhead receptacle groove and panel O-ring.
2 - If necessary, clean the groove, the O-ring and panel seal surface with isopropyl alcohol.
3 - Always apply silicone grease (Loctite 8104®, Rodhorsil Paste 4® or equivalent) on the receptacle panel O-ring,
preferably with the finger.
It is recommended to apply silicone grease also on the inner
cone of the receptacle body.
Grease
Panel mounting bulkhead receptacles
Fit the receptacle to the panel and check that the O-ring remains in its groove.
Locate the jam nut and tighten by hand. Use a torque wrench to complete
the process using the following recommended torque values:

Plug and receptacle coupling
Offer the plug to the receptacle, align the keyways and screw the coupling ring by hand until the receptacle groove
mating indicator is fully covered by the coupling ring.

Additional recommendations
- Don’t pull on the cable when unmating plug and receptacle
- Avoid sharp bends in cable
Maintenance
It is recommended to place a cap on the connector whenever it is unmated (a plastic cap is delivered and pressure
sealed caps are available).
Cabling, Mounting and Maintenance
In case mated connectors have been underwater for a long time and are recovered with fouling growth or are
particularly dirty, apply the following procedure.
To unmate the connectors:
- Remove shells and other large deposits from the coupling rings by hands or using a pressure jet.
- If necessary, brush any remaining deposits in the mating area and on the coupling ring with a hard nylon brush.
- Rinse with fresh water.
- Unscrew the coupling ring by hand.
After the connectors are unmated:
- Rinse the mating face of the connectors with fresh water.
- Clean the mating face of the connectors using compressed air.
- Inspect the O-rings
- Clean O-rings seal seats with isopropyl alcohol
- Apply grease on the O-rings
- Place a cap on the connectors
