Abstract:
1. A subsea container electrical through connector for providing an electrical connection from an interior of a subsea container to an exterior of the subsea container, the connector comprising: a bolt of a conducting material, the bolt having: an electrical insulator having a conical insulator portion with (a) a conical inner surface facing the conical bolt portion of the bolt and (b) a conical outer surface opposite the inner surface and having an outer diameter increasing in the longitudinal direction; wherein the conical inner surface and the conical outer surface of the electrical insulator extend substantially along a length of the conical bolt portion in the longitudinal direction of the bolt, such that a plane extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the bolt and through the bolt at a longitudinal position between the first and second connector structures passes through the conical bolt portion and both the conical inner surface and the conical outer surface of the electrical insulator.
