Define the key engineering inputs
Provide both halves, cable/termination and controlled source revision.
State every state that must withstand pressure or immersion.
Describe when and where mating occurs.
State direction, medium, temperature and duration.
State method, duration, cycles and acceptance.
State whether required and applicable safety method.
State depth, duration and the responsible engineering basis.

Project fit
Application and configuration review
Begin with the exact connector record, mating state and pressure/depth requirement.
SHX15, SHX16 and YMG remain separate source chains; no pressure, depth, mating or environmental field transfers between them.
The product 0.5 MPa field is retained only as static water pressure after mating. It is not converted to rated depth or another pressure state.
Engineering conversation
Translate the requirement into a configuration
product SHX16 pages organize a configuration-led water-tight review; pressure, depth, mating mode, leakage, materials and current status require controlled evidence.
Marine or rainproof wording is not subsea-pressure, deep-water, wet-mate or long-term immersion evidence.
Wet-mate, dry-mate, underwater-mateable and splash/rainproof describe different states and evidence needs.

Frequently asked questions
Plan the next engineering step
Can 0.5 MPa be advertised as a water-depth rating?
No. It remains an product static-water-pressure-after-mating field and is not converted to rated depth.
Does water-tight mean wet-mate?
No. Wet-mate requires explicit evidence for the mating state and conditions.
Does an IP code prove subsea pressure capability?
No. IP, hydrostatic pressure, depth, leakage, cycling and immersion are separate evidence sets.
Can SHX15 evidence support SHX16 or YMG?
No. The three records remain isolated.
Can a competitor depth or pressure rating fill a gap?
No. Competitor specifications are market context only and never product evidence for these records.
What should I submit first?
Provide the exact configuration, mating states, pressure/depth profile, leakage method, environment, evidence needs and project context.
