Electrical penetrator connector

摘要

An electrical penetrator connector has a fixed coupler pin unit which incorporates a pin having a conductive element. A reciprocatable component includes a housing defining a bore into which the pin may be inserted. Within the bore is a retractable shuttle pin. A chamber contains dielectric fluid. A flow path for the dielectric fluid is configured to move the fluid past a contact in the bore which is to touch the contact on the pin. The dielectric fluid circulates round the flow path every time the pin is inserted into the bore.
