Abstract
Various embodiments of the teachings herein include an electrical device comprising: a cable wire; a cable insulation arranged around the cable wire such that a section of the cable wire at least partially longitudinally protrudes out of the cable insulation; a heat-shrink tube at least partially arranged around the cable insulation and at least partially around the section of the cable wire; and a sealing material at least partially inside the cable insulation thereby sealing any gaps between the cable wire and the cable insulation.
Claims6
A method for manufacturing an electrical device, the method comprising:
- providing a cable wire and a cable insulation arranged around the cable wire such that a section of the cable wire at least partially longitudinally protrudes out of the cable insulation;
- providing a heat-shrink tube at least partially around the cable insulation and the section of the cable wire;
- providing a sealing material at least partially within the heat-shrink tube;
- molding a thermoset over at least a part of the heat-shrink tube surrounding the section of the cable wire;
- and
- applying heat to the heat-shrink tube to at least partially shrink the tube, thereby forcing the sealing material into the cable insulation to seal any gaps between the cable wire and the cable insulation.
