Patent number: 10594073Abstract: A technique facilitates construction of a sealed electrical connector, e.g. sealed pothead assembly. Depending on the application, the electrical connector may be used to connect a power cable and a powered component such as an electric submersible pumping system. The electrical connector comprises at least one connector component and at least one electrical component. An injection molding process is used to construct an injection molded feature sealed to a corresponding component, e.g. to the at least one electrical component. The injection molded feature is readily formed and located between the at least one electrical component and the at least one connector component to form a simple and reliable seal which prevents unwanted passage of fluids.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2015Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Bradley Matlack, Mark A.
