It brings your network cleanly through a panel, bulkhead, or console wall and stays sealed to IP67 when mated. Brass gold-plated contacts and a nickel-plated brass body make it the tidy, serviceable pass-through point for a well-planned N2K install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Actisense A2K-PMW-M is a rear panel mount NMEA 2000 connector, wired, with a 5-pin micro male end. It's the fitting you reach for when you need to bring an NMEA 2000 backbone or drop cable cleanly through a panel, bulkhead, or console wall without cutting a ragged hole and hoping silicone holds. Actisense built this to pass through watertight surfaces and stay sealed, so the network on one side of the panel and the dry space on the other both stay honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the job it does. You mount it from the rear of the panel, the threaded body passes through a 15.3mm hole, and the mounting nut locks it down against a waterproof seal. On the front face you get a standard NMEA 2000 micro connection ready to accept a mating cable. The wired tail on the back, 18 AWG stripped and tinned conductors, lands into your backbone or terminal block. That's it. No field-crimping tiny pins in a bouncing cabin, no guessing at pin order. The wires are already there, ready to wire in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it's the male connector, this is the side that presents pins. Pay attention to that when you're planning a run. The male mates to a female NMEA 2000 socket, so match your cabling accordingly. If you're feeding a display or sensor on the far side of a bulkhead, the male panel mount gives you a tidy pluggable point instead of a permanent pass-through gland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sealing is the whole point. Rated IP67 when mated, the connector shrugs off spray, washdown, and the odd wave over the bow. The waterproof seals protect both the NMEA 2000 connection itself and the integrity of the panel or bulkhead it's mounted in. On a center console that takes green water in a following sea, that panel seal is exactly the spot where lazy installs start to weep. This one's designed to hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild quality is what you'd expect from Actisense. The contacts are brass with gold plating, carried in a nylon and glass-filled housing for strength. The outer housing is nickel-plated brass, and the mounting nut matches. Gold-plated contacts matter on a boat because they resist the light corrosion that turns a marginal connection into an intermittent gremlin two seasons down the line. The mating thread is a standard M12 with \"A\" polarization, and the mounting thread is PG9, so it drops into standard hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectrically it's rated for 4A at 60VDC, which is comfortably inside what an NMEA 2000 backbone carries. Operating temperature runs from -25C to +90C, so it's happy from a frozen dock in February to a dark console baking in July. The connector meets IEC61076-2-101, the same M12 circular connector standard the rest of a well-built network follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere does it fit in an Actisense network? The panel mount wired range is designed to work alongside the Actisense QNB-1 junction block and the rest of the A2K cabling family. If you're building an isolated backbone drop on a metal hull, pair it with an Actisense isolation product to keep galvanic currents where they belong. On aluminum consoles specifically, a dab of dielectric grease on the mated connection is cheap insurance against corrosion at the joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest install notes. Don't overtighten the mounting nut against thin fiberglass or a cored panel. Snug and sealed beats cranked and cracked. And if your backbone is already powered, take a second before you seat the pins. Bent male pins are the most common self-inflicted wound on any pin-and-socket connector. Kill the network, seat it clean, power back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anyone running NMEA 2000 through a helm pod, a bulkhead, a transom, or a console wall who wants the connection to stay dry and serviceable. It's not a cable assembly, so you'll still need your backbone, tees, and terminators. But as the clean pass-through point in a well-planned network, the A2K-PMW-M does exactly one thing and does it right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP67 sealed when mated, keeps spray, washdown, and boarding waves out of the panel pass-through\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-pin micro male connector, mates to standard NMEA 2000 female cabling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass gold-plated contacts resist the corrosion that causes intermittent network faults\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNickel-plated brass housing with a nylon and glass-filled contact carrier for strength on the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15.3mm mounting hole with PG9 thread and matching brass nut, drops into standard panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-wired 18 AWG stripped and tinned tails, no field-crimping tiny pins in a bouncing cabin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated 4A at 60VDC, sized right for an NMEA 2000 backbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating range -25C to +90C, meets the IEC61076-2-101 M12 connector standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Actisense reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs the A2K-PMW-M the male or female connector?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's the male connector, so it presents pins.
