ABSTRACT:
The insulating housing of a high voltage splice or terminator for a high voltage electrical distribution system comprises a connector cavity defined by a hollow electrically conductive stress relief insert and at least one or more cable-receiving passages communicating with the connector cavity. A stripped electrical conductor at the end of a cable extends through the passage and is electrically and mechanically joined to a metal electrical connector in the cavity as by crimping. A hollow elastomeric electrically conductive and thermally conductive heat transfer device, split along one side to enable it to be slipped into the electrical connector, makes snug electrical and thermal engagement with the exterior of the connector and has integrally formed radially outwardly extending spaced apart resilient projections on its outer surface for making tight electrical and thermal engagement with the interior surface of the hollow stress relief insert of the housing. The device efficiently transfers excessive and damaging heat from the connector to the housing for dissipation to atmosphere.
