Separable connector access port and fittings.

摘要

The invention is the provision of an access to the interior of a high voltage separable connector component (200) by providing a projection (230) of insulating elastomeric material integral with the insulating material (204) of the body (202) of the component and in engagement with the conductive elastomeric material shield (206) of such component. A bore (240) extends through the projection (230) from a free, remote face (234) to the component interior. The bore (240) can be straight walled and if desired can be fitted at its remote end with appropriate fittings to permit external devices or internals to interact with the elements within said component body. A cap (250) of conductive elastomeric material is fabricated to fit over the projection (230) providing an interference fit therewith to seal out moisture and dirt and assure the continuity of the component shield layer, the free end of said cap (250) engaging the conductive shield layer (206) of said component (200) and an insulating probe (262) arranged to fill the bore (240) and dilate same to seal said bore (240) and assure the dielectric strength of said projection (230).
