Abstract:
An arrangement for passing an electrical signal between a first area having a first pressure, and a second area having a second pressure, wherein the first pressure is normally greater that the second pressure, thereby creating a pressure differential, the arrangement comprising:a body disposable between the first and second areas and defining a passage having an engaging portion; a first sleeve engaged with the body and at least partially disposed in the passage between the first area and the engaging portion, the first sleeve defining a first opening; a second sleeve engaged with the body and disposed in the passage between the first sleeve and the engaging portion, the second sleeve defining a second opening; and an electrically conductive element having a first portion disposed in the first opening, and a second portion disposed in the second opening wherein, when the arrangement is exposed to the pressure differential, the first sleeve is urged toward the conductive element, and the conductive element is urged toward the second sleeve, therby urging the second sleeve toward the engaging portion.
