Patent ID: 8851939

Claim:
A solder-less connector for connecting a wire of a subsea cable to a conductor rod of a subsea connector, comprising: a sleeve of conductive material having opposite first and second ends; the sleeve having a first bore portion extending from the first end and having a predetermined first internal diameter configured for rotatable connection to an end portion of a conductor rod of a subsea connector, and a second bore portion extending from the second end and configured for receiving a wire of a subsea cable; the sleeve having a crimpable portion spaced from the second end and having a predetermined second internal diameter forming at least part of the second bore portion and configured for crimped mechanical and conductive solder-less connection to the wire; the first bore portion having an annular groove spaced from the first end of the sleeve; and an annular resilient member of conductive material seated in the annular groove, the annular resilient member projecting radially into the first bore portion and configured for rotatable mating engagement with an annular indent in an exposed end portion of the conductor rod, whereby an attached conductor rod is axially secured in the second bore portion and the sleeve is rotatable relative to the conductor rod.
