MARES Hexagonal DIN Connector with AST 300 Bar: The Ultimate Upgrade for First Stage Protection and Performance
Elevate your diving experience and safeguard your most critical piece of life support equipment with the MARES Hexagonal DIN Connector. Designed as a premium accessory for Mares regulators, this connector is engineered for divers who refuse to compromise on reliability, performance, and ease of use. It´s more than just a connection; it´s an intelligent upgrade that provides unparalleled protection for your first stage, ensuring it remains in peak condition dive after dive.
The standout innovation of this connector is Mares´ exclusive Auto Sealing Technology (AST). This revolutionary system automatically seals the first stage inlet as soon as the regulator is disconnected from the cylinder valve. This simple yet brilliant feature provides a watertight and dust-proof barrier, preventing corrosive saltwater, moisture, and contaminants from entering the delicate high-pressure interior of your first stage. The result is significantly reduced internal corrosion, lower maintenance costs, and a dramatic increase in the long-term reliability and safety of your regulator, especially for divers who frequently rinse their gear.
Handling your equipment, especially in challenging conditions with thick gloves, is made effortless thanks to the ergonomically designed hexagonal shape. This provides a secure, non-slip grip, allowing you to easily tighten or loosen the DIN connection without fumbling or struggling. The modern, dual-material construction not only offers a sleek, technical aesthetic but also enhances durability and tactile feel.
Built for versatility and demanding dive plans, this 300 Bar DIN connector ensures a robust and secure link to high-pressure cylinders, making it the preferred choice for technical divers and those diving in colder waters where DIN systems offer superior performance. Inside, a high-efficiency conical filter provides a larger surface area for filtration, effectively trapping particulates and ensuring a clean, consistent flow of air over extended periods of use, further protecting the internal mechanisms of your regulator.

Connectors
This accessory features a DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) connection system. Unlike a traditional yoke connector, the DIN system threads directly into the cylinder valve, trapping the o-ring securely within the regulator side. This design creates an exceptionally strong and reliable seal, making it the standard for technical diving, overhead environments, and cold-water diving. Its robust nature and compatibility with high-pressure cylinders up to 300 Bar provide an added layer of security and versatility for serious divers.
