Abstract
An underwater or severe environment electrical connector, in which first and second connector parts are brought together in longitudinal alignment to establish electrical contact between respective contact portions of the first and second connector parts. The connector parts are relatively rotatable about a longitudinal axis when the connector parts are disconnected, and the contact portions are laterally spaced from the longitudinal axis and arranged to make electrical contact when the connector parts are connected, irrespective of the relative rotational positions of the first and second connector parts about the longitudinal axis.
