Abstract (en)
A connector used in underwater environments includes a male connector (10) with a sensing terminal (11) and two power terminals (12), a female connector (20) with a sensing terminal block (21) and two power terminal blocks (22), and an elastic gasket (23) set between the male connector (10) and the female connector (20). When the male connector (10) and the female connector (20) are plugged into each other, and the male and female connectors (10, 20) squeeze the elastic gasket (23) to form a large amount of deformation, the sensing terminal (11) and the sensing terminal block (21) are in contact with each other. When the male and female connectors (10, 20) squeeze the elastic gasket (23) to form a small deformation state, the sensing terminal (11) and the sensing terminal block (21) are separated from each other, and the power terminals (12) and the power terminal blocks (22) are in contact with each other, thereby forming a waterproof protection mechanism.
