Abstract
A sealing device to seal a connection between an electrical conductor with a PVC or silicone insulation, leaving one end of the conductor exposed, and a contact element electrically connected to the conductor. The contact element is covered with a jacket of a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, and is exposed in the area of bonding with the conductor. A sleeve-shaped adapter of a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material is inserted and surrounds the conductor with a gasket at an end area of the PVC or silicon insulation. The device also includes an overmold of a thermoplastic or terpolymer elastomer that covers the exposed end of the conductor, the exposed portion of the contact element and at least portions of the adapter and of the jacket of the contact element.

A device for sealing an electrical connection between an electrical conductor having PVC or silicone insulation with an exposed end not covered by the insulation, and a contact element electrically connected to the electrical conductor, the contact element being covered by a jacket of semi-crystalline thermoplastic material except in an exposed bonding area, the device comprising:
- a sleeve-shaped adapter made of semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, the sleeve-shaped adapter comprising a gasket surrounding the electrical conductor in an end area of the insulation;
- and
- an overmold made of a thermoplastic or terpolymer elastomer, the overmold directly covering the exposed end of the electrical conductor, the exposed area of the contact element, at least a portion of the adapter, and at least a portion of the jacket of the contact element.
A device for sealing an electrical connection between an electrical conductor and a contact element electrically connected to the electrical conductor, the electrical conductor comprising insulation and the contact element being covered by a jacket, the device comprising:
- a sleeve-shaped adapter comprising a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, the sleeve-shaped adapter further comprising a gasket surrounding the electrical conductor in a first end area of the insulation;
- and
- an overmold comprising at least one of a thermoplastic or terpolymer elastomer, the overmold directly covering:
- an exposed end of the electrical conductor not covered by the insulation;
- an exposed bonding area of the contact element not covered by the jacket,
- at least a portion of the adapter, and
- at least a portion of the jacket of the contact element.
