ABSTRACT:
A pair of small diameter lead assemblies as a complete electrically and environmentally sealed matable high voltage connection suitable for use under rugged environmental conditions, have a plug element and a receptacle conditions, have a plug element and a receptacle element physically matable therewith. The lead assemblies can each include annular retention clips therearound enabling insertion into and retention within passageways of matable housings of a multi-terminal hybrid connector assembly, to enable certain existing connectors to be converted into use as high voltage connector assemblies for rugged conditions without housing modification. The plug has a small diameter dielectric annular shell with a socket terminal in an internal passageway; and the receptacle has a small diameter dielectric annular shell having a pin terminal in its internal passageway which is matable with the socket terminal. A forward receptacle portion of the receptacle surrounding the pin contact section snugly receives thereinto a forward reduced dimension plug portion of the plug. Spaced apart O-rings disposed along and tightly around the plug portion are compressed by the receptacle portion and assuredly seal the annular space therebetween, preventing generation of voltage discharge and minimizing corona formation thereat. The rearward passageway portions surrounding the existing conductor wires are potted to prevent voltage discharge and minimize corona formation thereat.
