Patent ID: 7828573

Claim:
A subsea electrical connector for connecting a first cable and a second cable, comprising: a first insulator, said first insulator comprising a first insulator outer face and a pin portion transverse to said first insulator outer face; a second insulator comprising a second insulator outer face and a pin receptacle, said second insulator outer face mating to said first insulator outer face, said pin portion mating to said pin receptacle; a face seal ring between said first insulator outer face and said second insulator outer face, said face seal ring being molded to one of said first insulator or said second insulator; at least one pin seal ring between said pin portion and said pin receptacle, said at least one pin seal ring being molded to at least one of said first insulator or said second insulator; an interference fit between said pin portion and said pin receptacle such that said pin portion comprises an outer diameter of said pin portion other than said at least one pin seal which is greater than an inner diameter of said pin receptacle other than said at least one pin seal prior to a make-up of said pin portion within said pin receptacle; a seating angle seal comprising an angled surface on said pin portion and a corresponding angled surface within said pin receptacle; first and second metal electrical connectors mounted within said first insulator and said second insulator, said first and second metal electrical connectors each comprising a socket for receiving said first and second cables; molding around said first and second insulators operable to seal around said first cable and said second cable; and a plurality of fasteners for securing said first insulator to said second insulator, said plurality of fasteners extending through said first insulator outer face and said second insulator outer face.
