Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for connecting an electrical cable having multiple conductors to a submersible pump. A terminal housing defines at least one bore for sealingly engaging a sealing element through which the electrical cable passes. The first sealing element engages the outer jacket of the electrical cable. A gland secured to the terminal housing urges the first sealing element into sealing contact with the terminal housing bore. A second sealing element carried by the housing includes bores for receiving the individual conductors. A pressing element urges the second element into sealing engagement with the terminal housing and the outside surfaces of the conductors. Each individual conductor of a cable terminates in a connector that is releasably connectable to a corresponding mating connector in the submersible pump. The connectors are inter-engageable to form a unitary connector that is easily released from the wiring in the submersible pump.
