11b illustrate an electrical connection that is provided through the stab 34 an electrical connector 102 that can make or break under water has been specially adapted for the hydraulic pod stab 34 the connector 102 permits electrical communication directly between the electronics module 30 and the bop stack thus the connection is automatically made up by the lowering of the stab 34 into the bop receiver block 74 the male portion of the connector is fastened to a plate that 39 s mounted on the bottom side of the bop receiver block 74 the female portion is mounted in the lower portion of the pod stab 34 so when the stab 34 comes into the bop receiver block 74 it automatically makes up the electrical connection the female is designed so that when it disconnects the sockets in the female connection are sealed off and may be pulled up so that they work subsea the male pins are on the non power side when disconnected in a preferred embodiment there is room for two connectors on the lower surface of the stab 34 one connector for example is related to a 34 smart 34 bop read back at the upper portion of the stab 34 there 39 s a 90 u00b0 elbow 104 fitting that has a connection on it for attachment to a female swivel hose connection a length of hose not shown is designed to lay on top of the stab 34 the hose has a loop so that when the stab moves up and down the hose is able to flex freely and is not unduly tensioned the electrical connector on the hose end opposite the stab feeds through a bulk head into a junction box 56 shown in.
