High voltage subsea coupling arrangement

A high voltage, subsea connection assembly having a male part with a male pin that has a radially outwardly facing male electric contact face, and a female part comprising a female housing and a male pin receiving aperture, wherein, within the female housing, a radially inwardly facing female electric contact face is axially movable with respect to the housing, that the male pin is configured to be moved from a non-connected initial position, through the male pin receiving aperture and into a connected final position along a first insertion section and a succeeding second insertion section;

• wherein, along the first insertion section, the male electric contact face is configured to move axially with respect to the female electric contact face;
• wherein, along the second insertion section, the female electric contact face is configured to be axially aligned with and to move axially along with the male electric contact face, as the male pin comprises an actuation face that is configured to provide an actuation force, which provides movement of the female electric contact face along the second insertion section;
• and
• wherein, the female part comprises a radial actuation means configured to move the female electric contact face in an inwardly radial direction when the female electric contact face is moved along the second insertion section, such that the electric contact faces of the male part and the female part, respectively, are forced radially against each other by radial force from the radial actuation means.
