Abstract

A well bore pump electric power cable connector for field application to connect between the noninsulated ends extending from individual, insulated electric conductors of a high voltage pump power cable includes male and female elastomer boots each having a central passage therethrough to receive an end of the conductor to connect the noninsulated ends thereof, respectively, with a male electric conductor contact pin and female electric conductor socket in the male and female boots. The central passage has spaced shoulder means to mate spaced shoulder means on the male contact pin and female socket to retain them in the boots. Annular, longitudinally extending seal surface sealingly engage when the boots are mated and cooperating stop surface means and locked surface means engage when the boots are mated. A protective compression cover encloses the mated boots and the adjacent conductor portions to inhibit expansion of the mated boots in well bore fluids and thereby increase the seal effect between the insulated conductor extended into the mated boots, the conductor pin and socket and between the mated boots.
