Abstract:
A connector assembly is provided that includes a connector body disposed partially or completely in a pressure vessel configured for providing electrical conductive paths into and out from the pressure vessel. The connector assembly also includes a plurality of elongated conductive pins disposed within the connector body, wherein each of the plurality of elongated conductive pins comprises a high pressure end and a low pressure end. Further, the connector assembly includes a polymeric resin disposed within the connector body to form a molded body surrounding the high pressure ends of the plurality of elongated conductive pins for providing liquid-tight and gas-tight sealing between the polymeric resin and the plurality of elongated conductive pins and between the polymeric resin and the connector body, wherein the molded body comprises a plurality of fillets around all edges of the polymeric resin.
