View productA repeatable supply line starts with a wholesale underwater connector program you can plan around, and with knowing how an underwater connector manufacturer turns your drawings into cores, threads, molded plugs and batch records. This page covers the IL16F/BH16M watertight connector family, what can be customized at volume, how wholesale terms are structured, and the RFQ path to a quotation.
A quotation is built from your order profile, not from a catalogue page. Send these six details and the supply team can confirm configuration, terms and timing.
A wet-mate pair built for diving communication and shipboard wiring, where space is tight and the seal has to hold.
IL16F/BH16M — rubber injection-molded plug end paired with a stainless steel glass-sintered socket.
The IL16F BH16M watertight connector is mainly used in the communication system of diving equipment and ships, where the plug end is rubber injection molded and the socket is stainless steel glass sintered for good airtightness.
These are the published parameters that determine how a volume configuration is put together.

Each installation narrows the order down to one or two deciding parameters. Use this table to align the scenario with the specification before you request a quote.
| Scenario | Deciding specification | Buyer decision |
|---|---|---|
| Diving equipment and shipboard communication circuits | IP69 connector pair with a threaded connection and a molded plug / sintered socket seal | Standardize the communication position on IL16F/BH16M and stock fluoro-rubber O-rings at 12.5 × 1.8 inner diameter as a service spare. |
| ROV tethered systems and subsea sensor arrays | 7000 m working depth with 800 V AC withstand and 200 MΩ insulation resistance | Confirm your required depth class against the working-depth reference, then verify the configuration at sample stage. |
| Multi-conductor power and signal harness builds | BH 5/8-18UNF series with 6, 8, 10 or 12 contacts, 10 A rated, 12–220 V rated voltage | Match contact count to circuit count, then confirm the 600 V test voltage still covers 10- and 12-contact builds. |
| Confined topside panels and instrument housings | 1/2-20UNF installation thread with a compact, easy-to-operate body | Choose the smaller thread pair where space is limited, and plan bulkhead routing for the cable run. |
| Saltwater-exposed deck installation | 316L stainless steel base, rubber injection-molded plug and glass-sintered socket | Specify the molded plug for cable-side runs and reserve the sintered socket for the panel side. |
Customization happens before the RFQ is priced, so the sample matches the production batch.
Rubber injection-molded plug body and fluoro-rubber O-ring (inner diameter 12.5 × 1.8).
No prices are published here. This framework shows how a volume order is structured, with every figure confirmed on quotation.
| Item | Standard approach | Confirmed per order / on quotation |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum order quantity | Quoted per family and per configuration; several families can be combined in one enquiry. | Final MOQ for each configuration. |
| Lead time | Sample stage first, then batch production scheduling. | Batch lead time for the confirmed quantity. |
| Samples | Sampling before mass production for new or customized configurations. | Sample scope, cost and timing. |
| Packaging | Protective packing with nut, gasket and O-ring sets included as standard. | Carton, pallet and labelling format. |
| Incoterms and freight | Terms agreed per destination with your forwarder or the supplier's. | Incoterm, port and export documentation. |
| Payment terms | Agreed with your account contact for repeat volume accounts. | Payment schedule for the order. |
| Private label / OEM marking | Available for volume programs where artwork is supplied. | Marking, artwork and packaging approval. |
| Batch documentation | Material and electrical test records accompany the batch. | Document pack required for your market. |
Bring your own terms to the enquiry — quantities, destinations and documentation requirements all change the quotation, so they are set per order rather than published as a fixed table.
Repeatable supply depends on the same materials and the same electrical checks every time, documented per batch.
Connector sets inspected and packed by batch, with the O-ring, nut and gasket included.
Five steps from enquiry to shipped batch, with the sample gate before mass production.
Quantity, contact count, depth class, thread, application and target market reach the supply team.
Core schedule, thread drawing and harness layout are checked against the standard set.
The customized configuration is sampled and approved before any volume run begins.
Material, sealing and electrical checks are applied to the production batch.
Connector sets are packed with their O-ring, nut and gasket, then shipped on the agreed terms.
Send the six RFQ data points with your drawings and the supply team will return a configuration, terms and timing for your batch.
Keep adjacent product options together for a faster catalog comparison.

yes. the product page states that the number of cores and sizes of the products are selected according to customer requirements, so core count, cable length and assembly format are specified per project.
the il16f bh16m uses a 1/2-20unf installation thread, while the bh series connector table is based on a 5/8-18unf thread with 6, 8, 10 or 12 contacts. thread options are confirmed per order.
the standard set is a 316l stainless steel base with a 1 meter cable plug, nut, gasket and a fluoro-rubber o-ring with an inner diameter of 12.5 × 1.8. the plug end uses rubber injection molding and the socket uses stainless steel glass sintering.
apply conductive silicone oil before plugging or unplugging, pull straight out without twisting, never pull on the cable itself, avoid sharp cable bends and use bulkheads. joints should not receive inclined external force or be exposed to excessive heat or direct sunlight.
send the quantity, contact count, depth class, thread, application and target market through the contact page. minimum order quantity, lead time, sample scope, packaging and freight terms are confirmed on quotation for each order.
