High voltage vertical disk ferrule, and method for assembling thereof
11670892 · 2023-06-06 · ·

A high voltage vertical disk ferrule, and method for assembling thereof, the ferrule being stamped and having a vertical disk-like structure, which is not necessarily round or does not necessarily have any roundness. The high voltage vertical disk ferrule has an opening residing and traveling over the wire core and/or a wire braided shield, to which an end portion of the wire braided shield is affixed to the ferrule, or between two ferrules, such that a portion of the wire braided shield is flared and substantially perpendicular to the direction along which the wire core extends. The high voltage vertical disk slides over the core insulation, and towards the outer insulation when the wire is pushed. The wire braided shield develops a natural spring force against the ferrule, and causes it to be accordioned, pleated, or folded against itself, and therefore pushes the vertical disk ferrule forward.
