ABSTRACT:
Mateable receptacle and plug assemblies comprising a cable connector for use in a nuclear environment. The receptacle assembly and the plug assembly comprise mateable metallic shells, each surrounding one or more cable ends terminating in contacts. The contacts of the receptacle assembly and the plug assembly are equal in number and mateable. In each of the receptacle assembly and the plug assembly, the space between the shell and the cable ends and their contacts is filled with one or more heat, steam and radiation resistant insulative elastomeric compounds and/or epoxy compounds to prevent hosing of steam and moisture through the cables. The inside surfaces of the shells are uniquely configured to enhance bonding thereof to the insulative compounds, providing baffles creating pressure drops should the bond fail. O-rings are mounted on the plug assembly shell which cooperate with the receptacle assembly shell to form compression and butt seals to prevent leakage through the shell faces.
