20080227341 | CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH AN ELECTRICAL SUBMERSIBLE COMPONENT IN A DEEPWATER ENVIRONMENT - A connector for a connection assembly for providing electrical power to a submersible electrical component in a deepwater environment, such as a subsea well, includes a ceramic body having a metallized inner passageway. A conductive contact extends through the passageway and has a contact end and a cable connecting end. A conductive sleeve is disposed about an outer surface of the ceramic body. The ceramic body is retained within a connector housing that has an interface chamber and a cable retaining chamber. The contact end of the connector contact is disposed within the interface chamber, and the cable connecting end of the contact is disposed within the cable retaining chamber. The sleeve is attached to the housing to provide a seal between the interface chamber and the cable retaining chamber. When the connector is engaged with a complementary connector, a Faraday cage is provided within the interface chamber to manage the electrical field about the connection interface between the connectors. | 09-18-2008 |
20090258547 | Extender for a separable insulated connector - Removal of a conventional separable insulated connector from an electric power system often results in a shortened electric cable. An extender for a separable insulated connector enables the separable insulated connector to connect to a shortened cable. A conventional cable adapter is inserted into the extender, which includes a conductive connector for accepting the shortened cable and a conductive rod for carrying electric power from the shortened cable to the separable insulated connector. The extender also includes an inner semi-conductive layer that borders the conductive rod and compression connector, an outer semi-conductive layer, and a insulating layer between the two semi-conductive layers. The extender is inserted into a separable insulated connector, which is then connected to the electric power system. | 10-15-2009 |

20100130072 | INTEGRAL BONDING ATTACHMENT - An integral bonding attachment includes an insulated section of a conductive wire with an exposed, uninsulated section. A sleeve covers the insulated and uninsulated sections of the conductive wire, and the sleeve includes a flattened section encasing at least a portion of the uninsulated wire section to form a generally integral structure with the core of the conductive wire. At least one generally tubular section is positioned at an end of the flattened section to engage the insulated section of the conductive wire. An aperture may pass simultaneously through the inner core and flattened sleeve section for attaching the integral bonding attachment to a structure. | 05-27-2010 |
20110117794 | INSULATION DISPLACEMENT CRIMP CONNECTOR - An electrical connector assembly includes a first connector portion for supporting a plurality of insulated electrical conductors, and a second connector portion removably engageable with the first connector portion. The first connector portion includes a plurality of detent elements to secure the electrical conductors to the first connector portion, and at least one alignment recess. The second connector portion includes socket portions corresponding to the plurality of electrical conductors of the first portion, and an alignment member cooperative with the alignment recess to guide the second connector portion into engagement with the first connector portion. Socket portions include an insulation displacement crimp (IDC) connector portion configured to penetrate a corresponding external insulating layer of a corresponding one of the plurality of electrical conductors to place the IDC connector portion in electrical communication with the conductive core portion of the corresponding electrical conductor. | 05-19-2011 |
20120034825 | CONNECTION TERMINAL FOR HIGH-VOLTAGE CABLE - The present invention discloses a connection terminal of a high-voltage cable comprising a connector; a cable having a conductive core and an insulating layer surrounding the conductive core, with the conductive core being coupled to a free end of the connector; a first plastic layer surrounding at least a part of the free end of the connector and at least a part of the insulating layer; and a second plastic layer surrounding at least a part of the first plastic layer and at least a part of the free end of the connector. | 02-09-2012 |
20130095705 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION AND/OR RETICULATION - Among other things, an apparatus and method for use with a high-voltage electrical connector are provided. The connector selectively connects a first electrical conductor to a second electrical conductor. The connector may comprise a body portion and a securing portion. The body portion and the securing portion may at least in part define an engaging aperture. A tensioning component may also be present to constrict and/or un-constrict the engaging aperture. The second electrical conductor may be received into or out of the engaging aperture in a direction lateral to the connector. | 04-18-2013 |
20140141658 | SOLDER-LESS ELECTRICAL CONNECTION - A solder-less wire connector sleeve of conductive material has a first bore portion extending from a first end and configured for rotatable connection to an end portion of an electrical rod or pin of a subsea connector or the like, and a second bore portion extending from the second end and configured for receiving a wire. The sleeve has a crimp portion overlying the wire receiving end portion. An annular, resilient, snap engaging member is mounted in the first bore portion to extend radially inwardly into the bore, and is configured for resilient, snap engagement in an annular groove in the conductor rod adjacent the tip of the rod to retain the rod in the sleeve while permitting relative rotation between the rod and sleeve. | 05-22-2014 |
20140170909 | ASSEMBLED CONNECTING DEVICE WITH A PROTECTIVE SLEEVE - An assembled connecting device with a protective sleeve includes a first connector and a protective sleeve.
