2300 Head phone Plug and Socket

Found out a bit more about the SDC 2300 Water proof  HP Plug & Socket.

    The plug and socket is Water prof in that water cannot get back past the socket or plug pins into the back of the Plug/socket but it can get into the inside of the connecting surfaces of the plug/socket shell housings and therefore water could penetrate in and around the pins.

Unlike the Infinium coil and HP plugs and sockets which are totally water proof once the collar has been tightened, the SDC2300 HP connector will allow water into the friction fit areas of the plug and socket

So it would be very wise to flush the connectors with clean water and dry the connectors after you have been submerging the detector with HPs attached. Also a good idea to check the inside of the connectors for sign of corrosion at regular intervals.

Thanks for finding out about this Adrian, I think ours will never get submerged but other people may use there in water.

cheers dave

Adrian..I use mine in salt water on the beaches around here where I met you...down to the full length with the connection point submerged at times when waves go over. Touch wood been all good so far. I do rinse it with fresh water and leave it in the sun to dry off when I get home thou.

I am still a bit reluctant to submerge the HP connector point plus there are other nooks and crannies that are difficult to flush out if salt water penetrates.
I guess so long as the unit is well cleaned with fresh water and allowed to dry then problems should be few.
