Abstract
A demountable plug/socket connector assembly for making an electrical connection across a high pressure differential between the surfaces of a bulkhead such as the housing wall of a submarine repeater. One sub-assembly, ordinarily the socket sub-assembly is mounted in a bore or aperture on the low pressure side of the bulkhead, the mounting being resilient so that a small amount of engagement overtravel of the mating plug sub-assembly inserted through the bore resiliently disengages a seal between the socket member and the bulkhead to permit the inert gas on the low pressure side of the bulkhead to flow into the interface volume surrounding the pin/socket connection effected by mating of the plug/socket assembly. A second seal enables as the plug member is firmly seated, to exclude the high pressure medium (sea water for example) from entering the interface volume. The operation of the seals is reversible upon detachment.
