EXPLOSION-PROOF ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC H01R24/02 H01R13/533 

FIELD: electrical engineering; connectors for cable including those used in explosive and gas-laden areas.

SUBSTANCE: proposed explosion-proof connector has plug section shroud and socket section shroud accommodating plugs and sockets, respectively. Cable conductors are soldered to plug pins and socket jacks and sealed in shrouds by means of sealing compound. Shrouds of plug and socket sections are joined together by threaded bracing bushing provided with lock nut to prevent their spontaneous turn-out. Translational movement of bracing bushing along connector axis is limited on one end by projection provided on socket section shroud and on other end, by lock ring. Socket section shroud has groove to receive packing.

EFFECT: simplified design, enhanced reliability of explosion protection due to reliable sealing.
