A plug connector comprises a first plug, a second plug, and a securing device configured to mechanically secure the first plug to the second plug. The second plug has a receptacle with a ramp surface and a locking surface. The securing device has a lever pivotably mounted on the first plug. The lever pivotably bears a connecting element which has a securing cam on a free end of the connecting element. The receptacle of the second plug receives the securing cam and the ramp surface of the receptacle cooperates with the free end of the connecting element to forcibly guide the securing cam behind the locking surface of the receptacle when the first plug and the second plug are plugged together.

A plug part for a subsea connector, the connector includes a plug and a receptacle. The plug part includes one or more female conducting contact assemblies each female conducting contact assembly including a female contact including inner and outer conducting surfaces, the inner conducting surface defining a cavity of the one or more female conducting contact assemblies and each female contact unit further including a shuttle pin adapted to receive a male contact pin of a receptacle. The female contact assembly further includes a solid insulator mounted radially outward of the external surface and forming an annulus between the outer surface of the female contact and an inner surface of the solid insulator and an orifice between the cavity and the annulus.

The present invention refers to a lever-type connector comprising a connector and a lever pivotally mounted on the connector and configured to secure a connection between the connector and a mating connector, wherein the lever-type connector further comprises a gripping component configured to be gripped by an operator. The gripping component is pivotally mounted on an external part of the lever facing the operator, in such a way that a movement of the gripping component automatically induces a movement of the lever.

A plug arrangement is shown, comprising a housing part for a plug which can be plugged together with a mating plug along a plugging direction, and a pivoting lever which can be attached to the housing part and, in the attached state, can be pivoted from an initial position into an end position, the arrangement having a blocking element which can be transferred from a blocking position into a release position, which, in the blocking position, blocks pivoting of the pivoting lever out of the initial position and, in the release position, releases pivoting of the pivoting lever, the blocking element having a driving element which can be actuated by the mating plug and with which the blocking element is transferred by the mating plug into the blocking position

An electrical connector includes a housing, a lock mechanism, a trigger, and a strap. The lock mechanism is mounted on the housing and has a locking member. The lock mechanism is movable between a locking position in which the locking member locks the electrical connector to a mating electrical connector and an unlocking position in which the locking member is disengaged from the mating electrical connector. The trigger is pivotally mounted on the housing and is movable between a deactivated position and an activated position. The trigger moves the lock mechanism from the locking position to the unlocking position as the trigger moves between the deactivated position and the activated position. The strap is connected to the trigger and moves the trigger from the deactivated position to the activated position upon applying an activation force to the strap.

A subsea wet mateable connector includes a plug and a receptacle. The plug includes a plug body and a shuttle pin moveably mounted in a socket contact. The receptacle includes a receptacle body and a receptacle pin. The connector further including a secondary diaphragm mounted to the plug body and a primary diaphragm mounted to the plug body outside the secondary diaphragm. The primary diaphragm and secondary diaphragm are spaced from one another in a demated state, allowing fluid flow in the space formed therebetween. The primary diaphragm and secondary diaphragm are sealingly engaged in a mated state, forming a continuous protective layer over the receptacle pin in a mated state.

A subsea wet mateable connector plug part includes a plug body, a plurality of data conductor contacts arranged in the plug body and a plurality of power conductor contacts arranged in the plug body. The data conductor contacts include an even number of pairs of data conductor contacts, each pair being aligned orthogonally with respect to an adjacent pair of data conductor contacts. The pairs of data conductor contacts are so arranged as to form a data cluster. The data cluster includes an outer earth screen adapted to maintain an electrical contact with an earth screen of a cable. The power conductor contacts are spaced from one another in the plug body, outside of and remote from the outer earth screen of the data cluster.

A lever mechanism for sealing a telecommunications closure includes a plurality of hinge elements; a leveraging element extending upwardly from each hinge element; an arm section extending from the leveraging element; a biasing element downwardly extending from the arm section; and a handle coupled to the biasing element such that upon application of a compressive force to at least a portion of the handle, each hinge element, each leveraging element, each arm section, and each biasing element moves, allowing the lever mechanism to change from a non-actuated position to an actuated position. The lever mechanism is further configured to couple with a spring-activated element and environmentally seal the telecommunications closure.

A high voltage interlock bypass connector for use with a female high voltage connector having an interlock is provided and includes a metal connector pin having a substantially U-shape with a connected end and a pair of terminal ends; and a handle formed around and enclosing the connected end of the connector pin opposite the terminal ends such that the terminal ends extend beyond the handle. The handle is configured to provide insulation from a voltage carried by the metal pin and is transparent such that the connected end of the metal pin enclosed by the handle is visible within the handle. The interlock bypass connector is configured to be inserted into the interlock to complete a high voltage interlock circuit without having to connect a corresponding male high voltage connector having integrated interlock pins.

An electrical connector includes a housing, a lock mechanism, a trigger, and a strap. The lock mechanism is mounted on the housing and has a locking member. The lock mechanism is movable between a locking position in which the locking member locks the electrical connector to a mating electrical connector and an unlocking position in which the locking member is disengaged from the mating electrical connector. The trigger is pivotally mounted on the housing and is movable between a deactivated position and an activated position. The trigger moves the lock mechanism from the locking position to the unlocking position as the trigger moves between the deactivated position and the activated position. The strap is connected to the trigger and moves the trigger from the deactivated position to the activated position upon applying an activation force to the strap.
