Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0493375A2] An underwater electrical connector comprises male and female parts (1,2) which are brought together to make an electrical connection. The female part (1) includes outer, intermediate and inner closed chambers (28,29,30) containing electrically insulating fluid media, the intermediate chamber (29) being located within the outer chamber (28), and the inner chamber (30) being located within the intermediate chamber (29). An electrically insulating shuttle piston (46) extends through a contact socket (23) disposed in the inner chamber (30) and through respective aligned openings (40,41,42) of the inner chambers. The shuttle piston (46) is arranged to be urged back by a contact pin (3) of the male part of the connector during insertion thereof such that the contact pin is received and directly engaged by the contact socket (23) in the inner chamber (30) to effect the electrical connection. <IMAGE>
