Patent ID: 7056147

Claim:
A method for sealing a multi-terminal connector strip including an elongated body incorporating a series of chambers for a like number of terminals configured to be connected to conductor wires by thrusting the conductor wires into the interior of the chamber by means of a suitable tool, thereby thrusting the conductor wires into slots of the terminals which cause cutting of the wire insulation in order to establish electrical connection of the wires with the terminals, wherein the chamber for each pair of terminals has sidewalls extending a height above the terminals and is separated from each adjacent chamber by means of respective transverse partitions, so as to permit the pouring of a gel or sealing product into each one of the chambers, in order to protect the conductor wires, the method comprising: pouring into said chambers a sealing product, until a level is reached above an upper edge of the terminals and below an edge which is defined by an upper entrance step of the conductor wires, corresponding to side edges of the strip itself; solidifying the poured sealing product; and making of connections between the terminals and the conductor wires, both the terminals and the connections between the latter and the conductor wires being totally immersed in said sealing product.
