ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector, for use in underwater applications. The connector comprises a male component having a least one contact pin and a female component having a contact module. The male and female components engage, in use, to form a watertight electrical connection between the at least one contact pin and the contact module. The female component further comprises a biassing module, which comprises a first biassing means and a second biassing means. The first biassing means is located radially within the second biassing means with respect to the longitudinal axis of the female component. The first biassing means such that the biassing strength of the biassing module can be tailored to control the insertion rate of the male connector during coupling of the male component to the female component accommodating large variations in axial engagement length.
