SSB Radio Grounding Dynaplate Bonding

What is a Dynaplate?

Dynaplates are a great solution for hull bonding and grounding. A Dynaplate is a hull mounted ground plate made from sintered porous bronze, a form of bronze which allows water to fill it's internal voids, effectively creating a much larger surface area than it's physical size would lead you to believe.

Dynaplates have several uses and benefits, and are commonly used as a ground reference point for bonding, reducing RF interference in electrical equipment, and ensuring optimal performance for SSB radios. 

  • Improves performance of electronics and reduces RF interference
  • A efficient path for hull bonding without long runs of copper foil
  • Helps deter electrolysis and reduce galvanic corrosion
  • Sintered porous bronze sphere construction greats a large surface area in a compact size
  • Conforms to ABYC standards

Dynaplate Sizing

It's important to choose the correct Dynaplate for your application. Use the below table to help choose the right Dynaplate: 

Model Size Purpose
Standard Dynaplate 6" x 2" x 1/2" Hull bonding and grounding
D-8 Dynaplate 8" x 2-1/2" x 1/2" Bonding, grounding and Loran
Giant Dynaplate 12" x 3" x 1/2" Bonding, grounding and Loran
Super Dynaplate 18" x 6" x 1/2" SSB radio
