Part # Description Notes
43 DISSOLVED OXYGEN SENSOR - Sea-Bird polarographic membrane sensor for pumped CTD applications, 0-5 volt temperature-compensated oxygen signal. Includes plenum & complete documentation. Specify: housing/connector and Profiling or Mooring configuration selections.

SBE 43 can be ordered in several ways:

  • By itself; consult Sea-Bird to order interface cable or mount kit separately, if needed.
  • As an option in SBE 9plus, 16plus, 16plus-IM, 19plus, or 25 listing, complete with sensor, CTD interface cable, & mount kit.
SBE 43 Housing and Connector Selections -- MUST SELECT ONE
43-1a 10,500 m titanium housing, Standard (XSG) connector SBE 43 is available in titanium (10,500 m) or plastic (600 m) housing.

Wet-pluggable connectors may be mated in wet conditions. Their pins do not need to be dried before mating. By design, water on connector pins is forced out as connector is mated. However, they must not be mated or un-mated while submerged. Wet-pluggable connectors have a non-conducting guide pin to assist pin alignment & require less force to mate, making them easier to mate reliably under dark or cold conditions, compared to our standard (Impulse XSG/RMG) connectors. Like standard connectors, wet-pluggables need proper lubrication & require care during use to avoid trapping water in sockets.

SBE 43 Profiling or Mooring Selection -- MUST SELECT ONE
43-2a Profiling configuration (fast response membrane, includes dynamic response characterization) Profiling configuration uses a 0.5 mil membrane.
43-2b Mooring configuration (rugged membrane for enhanced long term stability, dynamic response characterization omitted) (CREDIT) Mooring configuration uses a 1 mil membrane.
SBE 43 Accessories
171491 SBE 43 Interface cable, Standard connectors, 76 cm (DN 32496) These interface cables are compatible with SBE 9plus, 16plus, 16plus-IM, 19plus, and 25, if connecting just SBE 43 to bulkhead connector. If connecting 2 sensors to 1 bulkhead connector, a Y-cable is required in place of one of these straight cables.
171507 SBE 43 interface cable, Standard connectors, 1 m (DN 32496)
172218 SBE 43 Interface cable, Wet-pluggable connectors, 76 cm (DN 32654)
172229 SBE 43 Interface cable, Wet-pluggable connectors, 1 m (DN 32654)
801617 SBE 43 Plenum Assembly, Version 2, Black Acetal Beginning in January 2007, Sea-Bird is using a black plenum in place of white plenum on SBE 43s for moored applications, to minimize exposure to light, improving resistance to bio-fouling. If desired, customers may retrofit existing SBE 43s; contact Sea-Bird for pricing and scheduling information.
31450 Tygon tubing, 1/2" ID X 3/4" OD, 2 meters, Black Beginning in January 2007, Sea-Bird is using black Tygon plumbing in place of clear Tygon plumbing for CTDs integrated with an SBE 43 for use in moored applications, to minimize exposure to light, improving resistance to bio-fouling. If desired, customers may field retrofit plumbing on existing systems; contact Sea-Bird for pricing.
