Abstract
A wet-mateable coupling member for making an electrical connection having: a body having a cavity wall which defines an internal cavity, and a hollow sleeve located inside the internal cavity. The sleeve is arranged in the internal cavity to define: an outer chamber between the sleeve and the cavity wall. The sleeve defines an inner chamber inside the sleeve. The sleeve has an electrically-insulating layer and an electrically-conductive layer. The electrically-conductive layer defines an outer surface of the sleeve in the outer chamber and has a semi-conductive layer, the semi-conductive layer being a conductive elastomer. An electrical contact is adapted to be housed inside the inner chamber and configured for making the electrical connection.
