PRESSURE COMPENSATED ROTATING ELECTRICAL CONTACT

摘要

A technique facilitates communication of electrical signals in harsh environments and between components that undergo relative rotation with respect to each other. The technique comprises rotatably mounting a first component with respect to a second component. The first component also is electrically coupled with the second component via an electrical coupler. The electrical coupler may comprise a first electrical contact located at the first component and a second electrical contact located at the second component. The first electrical contact is conductively connected with the second electrical contact via a conductive bearing. The conductive bearing is located in a volume which is filled with a substantially incompressible fluid to protect the bearing.
