Patent ID: 10483661

Abstract:
A system for sealing an electrical terminal which includes a device for sealing a plurality of electrical wires to a wire attachment portion of an electrical terminal. The device includes a shrinkable tubing which is placed over the plurality of electrical wires such that one end thereof extends over the wire attachment portion of the electrical terminal. A sealant/adhesive is placed within the heat shrink tubing and has a first portion proximate to the edge of heat shrink tubing. The sealant/adhesive has a strip of high viscosity sealant/adhesive proximate a strip of low viscosity sealant/adhesive. Upon the application of heat to the device after installation of the device over the electrical terminal, the shrinkable tubing starts to recover, the first portion of the sealant/adhesive flows and seals free ends of the plurality of electrical wires to seal the free ends of the electrical wires.
