Patent number: 11843232Abstract: A sealing assembly for sealing a bundle of wires includes a first sheet formed of a sealant material, a second sheet disposed above the first sheet, and a third sheet disposed above the second sheet formed of the sealant material. The second sheet includes a thermally conductive material. When the bundle of wires is overlaid on the assembly in a first direction, and the assembly is wrapped in a second direction that is generally perpendicular to the first to thereby surround the wires, the second sheet facilitates enhanced thermal energy distribution of applied heat throughout the assembly to thereby more uniformly melt the sealant material and thereby fill voids between the wires.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2021Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Inventors: Vijay Daga, Jaydip Das, Kavitha Bharadwaj, Ting Gao, Quentin Francis Polosky, Henry Paul S.

Patent number: 11257612Abstract: A method for sealing a bundle of wires includes providing an adhesive material having a viscosity of less than about 300 Pa·s at the installation temperature. The method further includes forming a structure from the adhesive and inserting a plurality of wires into the structure. A first amount of heat is applied to the structure in a first heating operation. The first amount of heat being higher than an ambient temperature and lower than a softening temperature of the structure. Subsequently, a second amount of heat is applied in a second heating operation to the adhesive structure to thereby fully melt the adhesive structure and cause the adhesive of the structure to fill voids between the plurality of wires to thereby seal the wires. Application of the first amount of heat during the first operation to the structure facilitates improved melt uniformity of the structure during the second heating operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: TE Connectivity Services GMBHInventors: Sunny Sethi, Vijay Daga, Kavitha Bharadwaj, Ting Gao
