Abstract

A two-part subsea bulkhead connector may be replaced and/or re-purposed of without draining an enclosure or disconnecting hard wiring therein, the two-part subsea bulkhead connector a first bulkhead connector, a second bulkhead connector, and a substantially water tight mechanical seal disposed intermediate the first bulkhead connector. When mated, first and second bulkhead connectors are aligned and contacts received into a corresponding contact. The first bulkhead connector is secured to the second bulkhead connector sufficiently to allow the mechanical seal to prevent water ingress. If a first contact becomes damaged or if a differing functionality set is needed, the second bulkhead connector may be removed from the first bulkhead connector and replaced.
