Abstract

An immersible electrical coupling includes a fixed connector (2) mounted on the wall (1) of a device, and a cable terminal (6) engaged with the connector. An outer molding of synthetic resin (33) surrounds tubular metal components (16, 12, 8, 10, 9) of the terminal, and a concentric inner molding 32 isolates the outer and inner sheaths (13, 17) of the cable (7). Within the terminal (6), the insulated conductors (19) which emerge from the end of the cable are spaced from one another, and traverse an insulating sealing plug (20) inserted in a watertight manner inside the tubular metal components (8, 9).
