Abstract:
A subsea electrical connector for connecting a first cable and a second cable. A first insulator has an outer face, possibly an inner face, and a pin portion transverse to the outer face. A second insulator has a mating outer face, an inner face, and a pin receptacle. At least one face seal ring is positioned between the first insulator outer face and the second insulator outer face. At least one pin seal ring is positioned between the pin portion and the pin receptacle. Preferably, an interference fit is provided between the pin and pin receptacle. A preferred seating angle seal has an angled surface adjacent the end of the pin portion and within the pin receptacle. First and second electrical connectors are mounted within the first insulator and the second insulator. The first and second metal electrical connectors each have a socket for receiving the first and second cables. A preferred embodiment includes receptacles for the fasteners with stop members, which limit the relative rotation to align the fasteners with the receptacles.
