They are versions of the existing Pisces range, and aimed as marine, naval, chemical, oil and gas industry use.
“Conventional RF connectors are manufactured from brass and finished with nickel plating or passivated stainless steel. Such finishes are subject to minor degrading in harsh environments and can lead to reducing the connector’s performance over time,” said the firm. “Nickel aluminium bronze is a high strength alloy with superior corrosion resistance which does not require plating for environmental protection.”
It also claims inherent resistance corrosion in salt-laden sea spray environments and to erosion in desert-type environments with sand and dust – as there is no plated surface to degrade.
Typical applications foreseen are in video and communications systems, industrial control (SCADA) systems and military radar.

“Formed in the UK in 2003 in response to the almost complete abandonment of the UK by the RF connector manufacturing industry, Intelliconnect joined forces with a small innovative US operation in 2004. Both the UK and USA divisions of Intelliconnect now enjoy a reputation for quality products and first class service. Intelliconnect is unable and does not wish to compete with the plethora of low-cost offshore product available in the market today. Rather they offer traditional engineering values coupled with innovation and agility.”
I am afraid it is up to you to read the specs carefully.
One thing – most of the connenctors in that blog do not require drilling holes through the structure.
I know it’s a different data transfer type (power / data as opposed to RF), but would these address some of the common corrosion issues mentioned in a post like this ( https://powerbyproxi.com/waterproof-connectors/ )? Just trying to weigh up my options, and this looks like the kind of thing I need, depending on its effectiveness.
