ABSTRACT:
An electrical penetrator assembly for conveying electrical wires through a wall which separates a hostile environment from an adjacent environment suitable for access by human operators. The assembly comprises a unique modular construction formed by a plurality of lead disks each having at least one aperture of axial direction and location appropriate to form a continuous spiraling passageway that is skewed with respect to the axis of the penetrator along at least portions thereof to substantially reduce or eliminate inadvertent escape of the hostile environment through the assembly. The assembly also comprises a positionable connector platform on which connector assemblies provide suitable interconnecting pin structure to mate wires contained within the penetrator to interconnecting cables within the hostile environment. The lead disks are designed to interconnect in only a selected sequence and are contained within at least one steel sleeve housing to facilitate easy removal and reinstallation of the penetrator for maintenance, modification, or addition to the assembly or to the wiring contained therein.
