ABSTRACT:
A connector for high-pressure undersea environments includes first and second connector halves each attached to the ends of a cable for being coupled together in an undersea environment. Each connector includes a front shell, a housing and a rear shell. The front and rear shells are kept rotationally and axially fixed relative to the housing utilizing interconnect mechanism held in place by a housing end nut and a retaining nut, respectively. The cable is mated to a feed-through insert in the first shell and is held in place by a suitable tube spacer between the feed-through insert and a retaining ring extending from the interior of the front shell. The wires from the cable extend through an interior cavity of the housing where they are coupled to a contact insert sealingly positioned in the interior of the rear shell. A spacer tube retaining nut axially presses against a rear tube spacer moveable to press the front of the contact insert into abutment against an annular shoulder in the interior of the second shell.
