does it have to connect where it will be immersed?

yep, in many but not all cases

corrosion resistance is probably a bigger concern than ingress protection because i don't think the ingress environment itself will be particularly nasty, just the salinity and duration

for the not all cases look at submersible flexible conduit to get the connection out of whatever liquid it's going to sit in

Guessing some of the SEA PATROL folks could hook you up with some state of the art underwater tech.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
the tiny gold leaf spring connectors SGI used to use for their late internal interconnects

the Symbolics console's 12-pin HIROSE connectors




just kidding, both of those are loving awful

the SGI gold leaf springs were prone to disappearing because they were so tiny and fragile, rendering exceptionally expensive hardware useless

the Symbolics console cables were notoriously easy to mis-seat despite theoretically both keyed and locking, resulting in shorts that could damage both the console (as expensive as a PC) and the Lisp Machine (as expensive as a sports car, or possibly a house)

bonus: the Symbolics console uses ECL voltage levels despite most of the hardware in both the console and the workstation being TTL, making it doubly difficult to deal with and repair. it does so because the workstation sends the pixels as a phase-encoded 160 MHz digital signal, using discreet ECL to do the encoding and decoding. in 1983.

about the only good things about the Symbolics console design were that it used differential ECL signaling to provide a bidirectional serial channel (multiplexed for control, keyboard, mouse, and the RS-232 port on back) plus the phase-encoded video and 44.1 kHz digital audio in a way that could be routed for dozens of meters, so you could literally have all the loud and hot Lisp Machines in a machine room in the basement and the consoles on desks many floors away
