An electric coupler (1) for use in mines and quarries comprising a plastics housing (14); a metal head (2) at one end of the housing; at least two tubes (3) of electrically insulating material secured in the head; an electric contact (4) positioned within each tube; an opening at the other end of the housing through which an electric cable (6) passes, each conductor (5) of the cab being electrically connected to one of the contacts; and clamping means (10) positioned within the housing, and electrically connected to the head, for clamping the wire armouring (9) of the cable; the voids (17) within the housing being filled with a hard-setting resinous insulating compound inserted through an aperture (18) in the housing after the coupler has been assembled, and which hardens to form a weatherproof coupler. |
