Abstract

See full text

The invention disclosed herein is for an improved electrical connector assembly used on couplers and program modules in marine streamers used in offshore seismic exploration. In particular, the invention disclosed herein is comprised of a deformable seal ring with a plurality of holes formed therein through which pass individual conductor wires through which are transmitted signals from various hydrophones disposed along the marine streamer. Deformable nipples are disposed on each side of the seal disk 16 around each of the openings extending through the seal disk. The seal disk and nipples are deformed around the conductor wires passing through the openings in the seal disk through use of a compression disk and spring which provides dynamic spring loading of the seal disk-conductor wire interface, thereby maintaining the integrity of the seal established between those components.
