Abstract
The invention is the provision of an access to the interior of a high voltage separable connector component by providing a projection of insulating elastomeric material integral with the insulating material of the body of the component and in engagement with the conductive elastomeric material shield of such component. A bore extends through the projection from a free, remote face to the component interior. The bore can be straight walled and if desired can be fitted at its remote end with appropriate fittings to permit external devices or internals to interact with the elements within said component body. A cap of conductive elastomeric material is fabricated to fit over the projection providing an interference fit therewith to seal out moisture and dirt and assure the continuity of the component shield layer, the free end of said cap engaging the conductive shield layer of said component and an insulating probe arranged to fill the bore and dilate same to seal said bore and assure the dielectric strength of said projection.
