Abstract
A submersible pipe electrical connector assembly in which mating electrical connector members are mounted in the ends of first and second pipe sections which are coupled together by a rotatable threaded coupling sleeve to interengage the connector members. Each connector member has one or more annular contacts therein concentric to the longitudinal axis of its respective pipe section. The contacts have the same diameter and engage each other in axial abutting relationship when the coupling sleeve couples the pipe sections together. One of the connector members has a resilient body with its annular contact mounted on the front face of the body. A cylindrical bellows is embedded in the resilient body concentric with the contact. The bellows is connected at its front to the contact and at its rear to a conductor termination element.
