Push-Pull Connector for Subsea Drones 2026: CBTG2CG-SMSM03-D92B and CBME2CG-SFSM03-S000 for Remotely Operated Vehicles and Subsea Drones for Russian Customers
Spring Technology supplied Russian customers with a 2C push-pull connector for subsea drones pair — the CBTG2CG-SMSM03-D92B plug and the CBME2CG-SFSM03-S000 pressure-hull hermetic socket — feeding up to 17 A of main DC power into underwater inspection rovers, with IP68-rated waterproofing and gold-plated contacts rated for over 5,000 mating cycles. Every specification in this guide is backed by the subsea interconnect engineering of Spring Technology.
Pain point: Powering underwater inspection rovers — where the umbilical cable feeds thrusters and power boards through the pressure hull, and a severed or disconnected umbilical on a wet deck must never let seawater flood the expensive internal computer core?
Core answer: For Russian customers, Spring Technology supplied a 2C series push-pull connector for subsea drones pair used on the dry-housing electronics pods of underwater inspection rovers: the CBTG2CG-SMSM03-D92B plug and the CBME2CG-SFSM03-S000 socket. The socket is built into the pressure hull to feed main DC power, up to 17 A, from the umbilical cable into the onboard thrusters and power management boards. Its hermetic seal ensures that even if the umbilical cable is severed or disconnected on a wet deck, seawater cannot flood the expensive internal computer core.
1. Technical Parameters & Engineering Standards
This push-pull connector for subsea drones pair combines the TGG.2C waterproof plug and the MEG waterproof fixed socket, two 2C series designs engineered for subsea and wet-deck environments. Both sides share the same rugged platform: push-pull self-latching, gold-plated contacts and IP68-rated sealing when mated.
- Latching Mechanism: Push-pull self-latching system (anti-vibration & shockproof)
- Recommended Hardware: Spring Technology Circular Connector
- Key Metric: Up to 17 A main DC power; pressure-hull hermetic sealing; IP68/IP66 when mated

2. Push-Pull Connector for Subsea Drones Design Highlights
Underwater inspection rovers operate where a single leak can cost the whole vehicle. The design highlights below are why this 2C push-pull connector for subsea drones pair is specified for subsea drone power links:
- Up to 17 A main DC power — the socket feeds main DC power from the umbilical cable into the onboard thrusters and power management boards.
- Pressure-hull hermetic seal — built into the pressure hull, the CBME2CG-SFSM03-S000 keeps the dry electronics pod sealed at depth.
- Wet-deck failure protection — even if the umbilical cable is severed or disconnected on a wet deck, seawater cannot flood the expensive internal computer core.
- IP68/IP66 waterproofing when mated — the 2C platform is rated for immersion, matching the demands of underwater inspection missions.
- Gold-plated contacts — stable, low-resistance connections for reliable power delivery to thrusters and power boards.
- Proven durability — >5,000 mating cycles with 15 g vibration tolerance for launch, recovery and deck handling.
3. 2C Series Connector Family Overview
The 2C series is Spring Technology’s waterproof push-pull connector family for subsea, marine and outdoor power applications. Built for immersion with IP68/IP66 sealing, the 2C platform serves the plug and socket in this push-pull connector for subsea drones pair and scales across the underwater equipment range.
3.1 Available Configurations
- Plugs: straight waterproof plugs (this order), plugs with bend relief, in 2C shell size.
- Pin counts: 2 to 19 pins, with solder termination.
- Sockets: waterproof fixed sockets (this order), for pressure-hull and panel mounting.
- Keying: key G standard, with key A and B available for multi-connector segregation.
3.2 Customization Services
- Custom pin allocations and part numbers (such as the CBTG2CG-SMSM03-D92B / CBME2CG-SFSM03-S000 pair) matched to the vehicle’s power plan.
- Hermetic sealing levels verified for pressure-hull and subsea installations.
- Pre-wired umbilical and cable assemblies for ROV and subsea drone builds.
- Key orientation selection to keep power and signal circuits segregated.
4. Applications: ROVs and Subsea Drones
Underwater inspection rovers depend on one sealed power path from the surface. This 2C push-pull connector for subsea drones pair protects that path from the dry electronics pod to the wet deck.
4.1 Dry-Housing Electronics Pods
Underwater inspection rovers carry their computer core in dry-housing pods. The CBME2CG-SFSM03-S000 is built into the pressure hull of that pod, keeping the electronics dry while passing power through the wall.
4.2 Umbilical Power Feed
Main DC power, up to 17 A, travels from the umbilical cable through this connector pair into the onboard thrusters and power management boards, driving the vehicle through inspection missions.
4.3 Wet-Deck Safety
If the umbilical cable is severed or disconnected on a wet deck, the hermetic seal of the socket ensures seawater cannot flood the expensive internal computer core — protecting the vehicle between dives.
