UNDERWATER ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS

摘要

An electrical connector for effecting connection between groups of submerged electrical contact elements comprises a plug and a base, each provided with electrical contact elements to be connected and which are immersed in an insulating liquid in respective enclosures in the plug and base, one of the enclosures being annular and inwardly limited by an inner protective body and the other of the enclosures being cylindrical and outwardly limited by an outer protective body. The plug and base are connected by sliding the cylindrical enclosure over the surface of the annular enclosure so as to replace the inner protective body by the cylindrical enclosure and to bring the electrical contact elements into alignment.
