| Abstract | Anyone who has ever had to mate and demate electrical or fluid connectors under harsh environmental conditions is well aware of what can happen when dust, sand, dirt, mud, or moisture work their way inside the connectors.

Accidentally dropping an unprotected connector into dirt, mud, or a puddle can render a very expensive piece of hardware virtually useless. Connectors can also be inadvertently stepped on or rolled over when lying on the floor or ground. When exposed to atmospheric moisture, cryogenic fluid connectors will instantly ice up. An effective, durable, easy-to-use protection method is needed for electrical and fluid connectors being deployed during operations in harsh environments. The Solution |
