• wherein the first section body comprises a first alignment plate and the second section body comprises an oppositely arranged second alignment plate, one of which comprises a guide pin and the other of which comprises a facing guide funnel;
• and
• wherein the first alignment plate comprises two first abutment faces and the second alignment plate comprises two second abutment faces, wherein the first and second abutment faces are adapted to abut against each other in a position of the alignment plates where the guide pin is fully inserted into the guide funnel.

A subsea high voltage connection assembly comprising a first section having a first section body to which a set of first connector(s) is arranged and a second section having second section body to which a set of second connector(s) is arranged, wherein the subsea connection assembly further comprises a section body movement arrangement adapted to move one of the section bodies towards and away from the other section body, between a disengaged position and an engaged position, wherein the subsea connection assembly further comprises a connector movement arrangement;

• and
• wherein the set of first connector(s) or the set of second connector(s) is fixed to a reaction plate which is functionally connected to said connector movement arrangement and which is movably supported in the first or second section body.

A subsea high voltage connection assembly comprising a first section having a first section body to which a set of first connector(s) is arranged and a second section having second section body to which a set of second connector(s) is arranged, wherein, the subsea connection assembly further comprises a section body movement arrangement adapted to move one of the section bodies towards and away from the other section body, between a disengaged position and engaged position, wherein the subsea connection assembly further comprises a connector movement arrangement;

• and
• wherein the first or second section, whichever comprises the section body movement arrangement, has a section body guiding arrangement adapted to guide the first or second section body along a first movement path between the disengaged and engaged position, wherein the first movement path comprises two movement path sections, wherein the movement path section being closest to or including the disengaged position exhibits less freedom of movement in transverse directions which are transverse to the first movement path, than the movement path section being closest to or including the engaged position.

A subsea high voltage connection assembly comprising a first section having a first section body to which a set of first connector(s) is arranged and a second section having a second section body to which a set of second connector(s) is arranged, wherein the subsea connection assembly further comprises a section body movement arrangement adapted to move one of the section bodies towards and away from the other section body, between a disengaged position and an engaged position, wherein the first section body comprises a first alignment plate and the second section body comprises an oppositely arranged second alignment plate, one of which comprises a guide pin and the other of which comprises a facing guide funnel, wherein the first alignment plate comprises two first abutment faces and the second alignment plate comprises two second abutment faces, wherein the first and second abutment faces are adapted to abut against each other in a position of the alignment plates where the guide pin is fully inserted into the guide funnel.

A subsea high voltage wet mate connector assembly comprising a male connector having a male connector main body and a female connector having a female connector main body, the male and female connectors are adapted to be joined into an engaged position and separated out to a disengaged position, in which engaged position the male connector is aligned with the female connector and the male connector main body and the female connector main body remain in a constant mutual position, wherein, when in said engaged position, a contact pin of the male connector is adapted to move between a connected position, in which it is inserted into a contact bore of the female connector, and a disconnected position, in which it is retracted into the male connector;

• wherein the contact pin comprises and electric conducting contact face that faces in a radial direction with respect to the axial direction of the contact pin, the contact face is in electric contact with a radially inner face of a bore conductor which constitutes part of said contact bore when the contact pin is in the connected position;
• and
• wherein the contact pin comprises a male isolation head at its front end, which male isolation head constitutes a radial isolating face along a distance between the contact face and the front of the contact pin.

A subsea high voltage wet mate connector assembly comprising a male connector having a male connector main body and a female connector having a female connector main body, the male and female connectors are adapted to be joined into an engaged position and separated out to a disengaged position, in which engaged position the male connector is aligned with the female connector and the male connector main body and the female connector main body remain in a constant mutual position, wherein, when in said engaged position, a contact pin of the male connector is adapted to move between a connected position, in which it is inserted into a contact bore of the female connector, and a disconnected position, in which it is retracted into the male connector;

• and
• wherein at least one of the male connector main body and the female connector main body has an axially extending portion with a cylindrical outer surface which is arranged within and with a radial distance from a cylindrical inner surface of an axially extending portion of an attachment body, wherein a flexible body is arranged between the cylindrical outer and inner surfaces.
