Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3376605A1] It is described a connector (103, 403) for electrically connecting two pins (409, 451) in a subsea environment, the connector comprising: a conductive sleeve (105) for sliding in the two pins from opposite sides and for electrically contacting the two pins with each other; for each pin (109, 409, 451), a rubber ring (113, 114) surrounding a portion of the respective pin axially outside the conductive sleeve; an elastomer moulding (115) surrounding the conductive sleeve and the two rubber rings; a casing (117) providing an internal space (119) fillable with oil, a diaphragm (121) in a wall of the casing allowing compensation of the pressure in the internal space with an outside pressure, wherein the elastomer moulding (115), the rubber rings (113, 114) and the conductive sleeve (105) are located within the internal space (119), wherein the rubber rings are configured to at least partly transmit a pressure applied to the elastomer moulding towards radially inwards.
