Where to find 100PSI submersible connector?

I need to go with my 4-20mA current loop sensor about 200 ft under water. For that I tried to find a small (dia = 0.5 inch max) circular 3-pin connector that can·withstand that kind of pressure (say 100 PSI max). So far no such luck - and I did tried indeed confused.gif

Please reply in case you know who makes such connectors...

Thnx

    You may want to have a cable assembly made for that. Companies that do this mold the connectors onto the cable so they don't leak. The underwater inspection company I've worked with uses MECCO and Ocean Systems to make their cables. Compared with the connectors I've seen, though, 0.5" dia. seems quite petite.

    Also, try Googling IP68 cordset. IP68 is a submersible rating and needs to come with a maximum depth attached to the spec.
