Abstract
An electrical connector providing a sealed electrical link between an inside environment subjected to corrosive gases or liquids under pressure and an outside environment of different pressure. The connector includes a connector body, conductor cables, a thermoplastic insulator, and a sealing element. The connector body is secured to a structure and includes insulating feed-throughs for receiving electrical contacts connecting an outside environment to an inside environment. The conductor cables, comprising an outer insulating layer made of a fusible thermoplastic material, are connected to said electrical contacts inside said inside environment. The thermoplastic insulator is secured to said connector body and surrounds the conductor cables. The thermoplastic insulator and cable outer insulating layers are made of a same type of fusible thermoplastic material making it possible, by localized fusion, to form a thermoplastic weld therebetween. The sealing element is mounted between the connector body and the thermoplastic insulator.
