ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a remote electrical connector which is particularly adapted for use in hostile environments, such as nuclear reactor plants. The connector comprises a static assembly and a removable assembly which can be connected and disconnected by means of a remotely-operated hook. One of the assemblies is provided with a guide rail at the bottom thereof which extends forwardly from the assembly, while the other assembly has a glide at the bottom thereof for sliding on the rail during connection or disconnection of the assemblies. The static assembly includes a male receptacle mounted thereon and a first cylindrical section which surrounds the receptacle. The removable assembly has a female socket mounted thereon with a second cylindrical section surrounding the female socket. The second cylindrical section is proportioned to fit within the first cylindrical section and is provided with a particular sealing ring for sealing and aligning with the first cylindrical section. The male receptacle and female socket are positioned to interengage one another and the assembly which slides on the rail is provided with a lanyard for disconnecting the electrical connector. The electrical connector is further protected against seismic shocks and explosions from movement in the horizontal and vertical directions by means of locking means. Top covers are provided for the assemblies to protect against contamination.
