<p>A mining cable coupler includes a hollow body with an entrance fitting for an electrical cable at the a end of the body and an electrical connector mounting member having a plurality of electrical connector receiving apertures adjacent a second end of the body with electrical connectors mounted in corresponding ones of the receiving apertures. At least one of the electrical connector includes an elongate electrical conductor that has an exposed face at an end of the hollow body. An insulating material surrounds the electrical conductor. The insulating material defines a radiussed region on the exposed end face of the electrical connector that provides electrical stress relief at the exposed end face. The end of the electrical conductor with the exposed face includes either an electrically conductive pin portion protruding from the end face or a mating electrically conductive socket portion having an opening in the end face.</p> |
