** We recommend using only "O" rings from Ikelite on Ikelite connectors for Nikonos; and only "O" rings from Nikonos for connectors from Nikonos. We recommend using only Ikelite #0184.1 silicone lube on all of our "O" rings to prevent possible softening and swelling in size.

Ikelite - to - Ikelite: #0301
Ikelite - to - Nikonos: #0301.1
Ikelite - Single end cap: #0301.12
Dust Caps Protective caps are available for sync cords. These are machined from black Delrin, apply almost no squeeze to the "O" ring, and allow connector attachment on both ends so one $10 cap accommodates both ends of the sync cord.

NOTE:
Some European manufacturers have taken the liberty to provide a "revised" Nikonos bulkhead that does not have the two spring type contacts of a genuine Nikonos design. These sockets may destroy a plug like ours which is designed to Nikonos specifications.
