ABSTRACT:
A fluid cooled conductor including a wire rope or braid having ferrules forged on both ends thereof, said ferrules having a channel formed in the periphery thereof to provide a channel for fluid passage between the wire rope or braid and a terminal crimped to the ferrule. The terminal has a fluid passage communicating with the passage in the ferrule. A rubber hose is clamped between terminals in a water tight fashion, thereby providing a continuous fluid passage beginning with the fluid passage in the terminal, continuing about the periphery of the wire rope or braid, and terminating in the fluid passage on a terminal connected to the other end of the wire rope or braid. A method of making the fluid cooled connector is disclosed which includes placing the ferrule about one or both ends of a wire rope or braid, squeezing the ferrule with sufficient pressure to forge it onto the wire rope or braid, and pressing a fluid carrying channel in the ferrule after it is forged onto the end of the cable. An apparatus is disclosed for performing the method.
