A connector (1) for facilitating a pressure-tight electrical connection through a well head comprises a hollow body (2) having upper and lower openings (3, 4), a bulkhead (12) provided in the body (2) and a conductor (18) removably held in the bulkhead (12) by a retaining plate (26). A portion of the conductor protrudes from the bulkhead (12) in the direction of the lower opening (4). The conductor (18) has an insulating layer (20) insulating the conductor from the bulkhead (12) and extending along part of the said protruding portion, forming a pressure barrier between the first and second openings (3, 4). Cable strands (34) are crimped to the pins (16) and the joins insulated by tape (40, 42). This construction allows one to fit the cable (30) to the pins before finally sealing the connector in place, which speeds up installation. |
