Assembly and method for sealing a bundle of wires

A sealing assembly for sealing a bundle of wires comprises:

• a first sheet formed of a meltable sealant material;
• a second sheet disposed above the first sheet, the second sheet formed of a second sealant material and includes a thermally conductive material;
• a third sheet disposed above the second sheet formed of the sealant material wherein the third sheet defines a plurality of teeth on a top surface that define valleys there between for controlled placement of one or more wires of the bundles of wires wherein the thermally conductive material extends from the second sheet into at least some portions of the plurality of teeth;
• and
• a cover that can be disposed around, wherein when the bundle of wires is overlaid in a first direction on the assembly, the assembly is wrapped in a second direction that is generally perpendicular to the first direction to thereby surround the wires, and the cover is disposed around the wrapped assembly and the bundle of wires,
• the second sheet facilitates thermal energy distribution of applied heat throughout the assembly to thereby lower a viscosity of the meltable sealant material to a point at which the meltable sealant material melts to fill voids between the bundle of wires, and the cover maintains the meltable sealant material between the wires,
• wherein the first meltable sealant material includes a crosslinking agent to cause the sealant to undergo a change in viscosity characteristics when heated to a curing temperature such that the viscosity of the first meltable sealant material is initially less than about 100 Pa*s at the curing temperature and then changes to a viscosity of greater than about 1000 Pa*s at the curing temperature after crosslinking has occurred,
• wherein the thermally conductive material comprises a metal.
