Abstract
A method for insulating wires is disclosed. A portion of the plurality of wires and an insulating material are placed in a tube having an open end. Pressure is applied to the tube. During the application of pressure, the tube, the plurality of wires, and the insulating material are heated to a temperature above a melting point of the insulating material. As a result, the insulating material is melted and driven toward the open end of the tube. Upon removal of the heat, the insulating material solidifies and forms a barrier proximal to the open end of the tube.
Claims10
An insulated wire joint, comprising:
- a tube having an open end;
- and
- a portion of a plurality of wires placed in the tube, wherein each wire of the plurality of wires distal to the open end of the tube is individually insulated with a first insulation material, and wherein an outer surface of each wire of the plurality of wires proximal to the open end of the tube is free of first insulation material;
- and
- a second insulating material formed proximal to the open end of the tube and formed about the outer surface of each wire of the plurality of wires free of the first insulation material.
