Subsea
As the industry faces dimensioning oil & gas reservoirs the petrol chemical companies are forced to drill farther offshore and into deeper waters. This equates to confronting higher pressures, higher temperatures and increased corrosive environments. Common applications in offshore environments are electrical connectors. Electrical connectors are required to perform in aggressive environment while maintaining electrical performance.
