Abstract:
1. An electrical connector for use with an underwater electrical device, the underwater electrical device being connected to a source by electrical wiring, the connector adapted for connecting the source and the underwater electrical device without compromising the integrity of the electrical connection, the connector comprising: an insertion member for retaining the electrical wiring, the insertion member being elastic and deformable; a clamping member for compressing the insert member; and a sealing member for sealing the connector to the electrical device, whereby upon the electrical wiring being inserted and retained by the insertion member, the clamping member squeezes the insertion member minimizing the amount of air between the insertion member and the electrical wiring and upon squeezing the insertion member, the sealing member forms a leak proof connection between the electrical device and the connector.
