Abstract
A threaded connection includes a first and a second tubular component made up one with the other. A male element of the first component includes, on its external peripheral surface, a male inner lip including an inner mg with a minimum thickness Epi and a male threaded zone. One inner end of the male threaded zone is at a non-zero axial distance (Li) from a male distal end. A female element of the second component includes, in succession over its internal peripheral surface, a female inner recess disposed facing the male inner lip and a female threaded zone, such that in the made up position of the connection, a radial clearance subsists between the male inner ring and the female inner recess and an internal seal is formed locally between the male inner lip and the female inner recess. The connection is such that 10%≤Epi/Li.
