Abstract
A multiple contact wet connector that includes a male connector assembly having a nose portion that removably fits within an axial cavity in a female connector assembly. The connector assemblies are constructed for attachment to equipment and instrumentation in a wet environment. Each of the connector assemblies include a plurality of conductors that are constructed for attachment to conductors in the equipment and instrumentation. Each conductor in the male connector assembly is matched with a conductor in the female connector assembly for transmission of a signal therethrough. Electrical contacts within the connector assemblies provide individual contact of the matching conductors. Insulators separate and insulate the electrical contacts from one another. Seals between the contacts isolate the fluid near one contact from the fluid near the other contacts. Thereby, the seals further insulate the contacts from one another.
