A lead for use in a rotary electric machine such as an automotive engine starter. The lead includes a tube having formed on an end thereof a grommet to be secured to the machine and a stranded conductor disposed within the tube to have an end portion extending inside the machine through a hole of the grommet. The tube has a seal which is interference fit on the stranded conductor, while the stranded conductor is not interference fit on the stranded conductor. This permits the grommet to be pushed by a decreased pressure while flexing or compressing the tube in a lengthwise direction thereof thereby exposing more area of the end portion of the stranded conductor when welded to, for example, a motor terminal within the machine. |
