  • Patent number: 4053196
    Abstract: A plurality of separate electrical power supply lead wires each have an exposed end portion projecting from a surrounding insulation. The end portions are slidably received within corresponding collett-like socket members supported by an insulator plug disposed within a bore formed within a submersible electrical motor housing. A strain relief washer engages the socket members and supports a resilient gland member which has corresponding bores for slidably receiving the insulation on the lead wires. A bushing and tubular nut surround the lead wires and project into the upper end of the bore to provide for compressing the gland member axially within the bore for producing a fluid-tight seal between the insulation on each lead wire and the housing and to press the strain relief washer against the socket members for gripping the lead wires.
