20100267266 | AIRTIGHT ELECTRICAL SOCKET - A water and/or airtight electrical socket for portable electronic devices includes sealing elements that are shaped like an arc, and arranged to seal only a portion of the perimeter of the socket-plug interface. When this arc element experiences pressure, it will mechanically relay the force caused by the pressure only to that section of the perimeter of the socket-plug interface that it is arranged to seal. It will not relay mechanical forces any further. This way, the mechanical effect of any extra asymmetric pressure will simply be limited to increasing the pressure of the seal in the perimeter section of that particular sealing element, thereby tightening the seal further still. This allows the socket opening to be sealed in a water- and/or airtight manner even in asymmetric pressure conditions, both when there is no plug in the socket and also when a plug is inside the socket. | 10-21-2010 |

20080293280 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND SOCKET ASSEMBLIES - An electrical connector assembly for a cable having a plurality of insulated conductors comprises a body having a respective recess for receiving a terminating pin each of the conductors. A respective spigot sealingly engages within each of the recesses and has a passage for receiving an associated one of the terminating pins. Furthermore a seal is associated with each of the spigots for sealing the spigot relative to the associated terminating pin. The provision of a separate spigot for each of the conductors and for sealing engagement within a respective recess in the body enables the spigots to be sealingly fitted to the conductors prior to each spigot being introduced into its recess and sealingly engaged therein. This provides improved insulation of the conductor and increased creepage distance between the mating electrical parts and the outer surface of the housing of the assembly. It also provides the additional advantage that the seal on the conductor tends to be smaller than in prior arrangements so that there is less thermal expansion of the seal when the parts get hot in a downhole environment. | 11-27-2008 |
