Abstract
A high voltage subsea electrical penetrator. A first housing part is connectable to a second housing part. The first and second housing parts in connected mode define a seat for accommodation of a bushing including a conductor pin arranged in an insulator body. The first and second housing parts each have a part-spherical seat surface supporting a corresponding region of the bushing. The bushing includes a material of relatively high compressive strength, in the form of a polymeric material or a ceramic material, that is molded into spherical outer shape about a bulbous portion of the conductor pin, and clamped as a unitary form-fitting element in the seat upon connection of the first and second housing parts.
