Patent ID: 7364451

Claim:
A connector adapted for mounting to an electrical apparatus which can be moved through an earth borehole having either high pressure or high temperature, or both high temperature and high pressure, comprising: an electrical conductor; a metal body having first and second ends, and having a given length between said first and second ends, said metal body adapted to be connected to an electrical apparatus, said electrical conductor extending through said metal body, said metal body having an annulus surrounding the said electrical conductor along the entire given length of said metal body; an insulation seal in said annulus, said seal comprising, at least in part, a layer of glass surrounding said electrical conductor, said insulation seal at least partially insulating said metal body, thereby insulating said metal body from said electrical conductor, said glass having a melting point greater than 500° F.; and a thermoplastic jacket applied in an initial position over and touching the electrical conductor and touching said metal body, and movable to a second, radially outwards position for sealing against the electrical apparatus when subjected to either high temperature or high pressure, or both high temperature and high pressure.
