  • Patent number: 6475039
    Abstract: A contact pin for an electrical connector comprises a body, a connector element, and a sheath, the connector element being maintained in the extension of the body by being coupled with a peg projecting from the front face of the body, the sheath being disposed around the connector element and maintained on the body by clamping an annular portion of the latter. At the peg end, connector element comprises an end for coupling with said pin, conformed such that the pin cannot fit inside the cross section of said coupling end, the connector element being capable of deforming elastically to enable its coupling end to friction fit onto the pin, the thus deformed connector element being unable to fit inside the cross section of the sheath.

  • Patent number: 6439932
    Abstract: A multiple contact connector which can be used to protect live circuits including power and signal line, during connection and disconnection in wet environments, includes a male probe adapted to removably seat in a female receptacle. The male probe and the female receptacle are constructed to attach to equipment which includes downhole tools. The probe includes at least three uniquely spaced contacts on an outer surface. The receptacle has at least three contacts on an inner surface spaced so as to mate with the probe contacts when the probe is seated in the receptacle. The contacts are spaced such that no more than one of the at least three probe contacts may be aligned with and contacting any of the at least three receptacle contacts, unless said probe is seated within said receptacle. This prevents cross coupling of the live power and signal lines thereby preventing damage to the associated circuits.
