Abstract
The unintended retraction of extruded insulation from a conductor causes reliability and safety concerns. A variety of insulation lock mechanisms are designed to prevent the insulation layer of an insulated lead from retracting and exposing uninsulated portions of the conductor. The insulation lock mechanism can be included between the conductor and the insulation layer, or included in a connector used to provide an electrical connection between an internal motor lead and an insulated lead of a motor lead cable. Within the connector, the insulation lock mechanism can be included between the insulation layer and a terminal that electrically connects the motor lead to the insulated lead.
