Abstract

A B S T R A C T
A connector for use in deep ocean environments has a housing defining an interior chamber filled with non-electrically conducting fluid wherein the cable termination is interconnected to a male or female contact apparatus. A pressure equalizing apparatus according to the invention includes a pair of mating sleeves positioned in the interior chamber, in spaced apart relationships, each having a cylindrical mating surface which sealingly mates against the interior surface of the chamber and a projecting sleeve receiving cylindrical surface. The sleeve receiving surfaces are juxtaposed opposite one another. An elastomeric boot is positioned over the sleeve receiving surfaces of each mating sleeve to thereby extend between the pair of sleeves and divide the interior chamber into an interior non-electrically conducting fluid retaining region and an exterior region. An orifice is provided through the connector housing to provide communication between the exterior region adjacent the elastomeric boot and the environment outside the connector.
