Match the operating action to the mechanism.
The SEACON underwater switch range includes proximity, limit and positive-action types. Establish which action your equipment needs before selecting a DepthLink route. A mechanical actuator and a non-contact magnetic target require different installation arrangements.
Operating action
Specify non-contact detection or physical actuation. For a limit switch, include actuation direction, travel, overtravel and return behaviour.
Connector and pressure boundary
Identify the equipment-side mating half, locking arrangement and sealing details. A similar pin count does not establish compatibility with an existing Micro WET-CON or other subsea interface.
Electrical and materials scope
Supply the contact function, load and wetted materials. Define operating depth, pressure and temperature for the complete switch-and-cable assembly.
Compare the installed requirement with the proposed solution.
Use these six checks to identify what can stay and what needs changing. These are selection routes, not verified part-for-part equivalents.
| Selection point | Record from the installed equipment | DepthLink route and practical difference |
|---|---|---|
| Sensing action | Whether the installed unit uses a magnetic target or physical actuation. | Choose magnetic-target proximity sensing or a mechanical limit switch to suit the actual mechanism. |
| Mounting envelope | Thread and pitch, mounting drawing, sensing-face location and space for mating and removing the cable. | Select the body and connector together. A similar thread diameter does not establish identical fit or sensing position. |
| Electrical output | NO, NC or changeover contacts; voltage, switching load and required normal state. | Nano M12 offers SPDT dry contacts. Compare the actual control input and load before changing the circuit. |
| Connector and wiring | Exact mating-half reference, keying, contact arrangement, pin functions, sealing and cable termination. | Nano, Micro Straight, Micro 90° and Circular describe distinct interfaces. Review the actual mating pair and pinout; matching pin count alone is insufficient. |
| Wetted materials | Body, connector shell, mounting, target carrier, cable jacket and seal requirements. | Review the complete wetted assembly against seawater exposure and neighbouring materials. A connector material does not describe the whole switch body. |
| Pressure and immersion | Operating pressure/depth, temperature, continuous immersion and any required test evidence. | Nano M12 stainless-steel configuration: 700 bar external pressure, approximately 7,000 m seawater. Agree the complete switch, mating connector and cable duty. |

Before choosing an alternative
Does a DepthLink switch mate with my SEACON cable?
Mating compatibility is specific to the exact connector pair. Send both references and the pin allocation; do not assume compatibility from the appearance or pin count.
Can I specify a mechanical limit switch instead of proximity sensing?
Yes, DepthLink offers a mechanical limit-switch product route. The mechanism must provide suitable physical actuation, and the travel, circuit and environmental requirements need to be agreed.
DepthLink is an independent supplier. SEACON names identify the existing equipment or requirement; no affiliation, endorsement or automatic interchangeability is implied.
Send us the reference. Tell us what must stay.
Include the part number, drawing or datasheet, required quantity and delivery date. Tell us which mounting, target, connector and control-system interfaces need to remain unchanged.
