Abstract
The invention relates to an union assembly for electric cables, inter alia electric cables which experience very high pressures, and adapted to be interposed between a connector element and the cable extending thereto, an insulant filing the inner chamber in which the sheathed cable conductors are connected to the corresponding elements or contact tags or posts of the connector. In said union assembly, the insulant takes the form of a resilient agent in which the conductors are embedded and which experiences via the union assembly outer wall the external pressure acting on the union.
Claims16
In an electrical cable connector assembly which is particularly adapted for electrical cables subjected to very high external pressures, which is disposed between a connector member and the terminal end of the electrical cable, and which includes an insulator that fills an inner connector chamber wherein sheathed conductors of the cable are connected with electrical contacts of the connector member, the improvement wherein said insulator comprises a deformable, resilient material which surrounds the sheathed conductors of the electrical cable and wherein said assembly includes means providing communication of the external pressure acting on the assembly with said insulator material through the outer wall of the assembly.
