Abstract: A method and apparatus for sealing a splice enclosure to protect cable splice connections retained therein. A sealing member is a single piece body integrally formed of a suitable material which resists detrimental environmental effects and is resiliently compressible in an axial direction to seal the splice enclosure. Axial compression of the sealing member is employed to create sealing forces both about the outer periphery of the sealing member and between the sealing member and cables projecting therethrough. The axial compression is applied to the sealing member by a seal neck member which presses the sealing member into a shell member. A retainer plate may optionally be interposed between the sealing member and a retaining edge part of the shell member. A buffer ring may optionally be interposed between the sealing member and a compressing surface portion of the seal neck member.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a bus assembly which comprises a bus insulation plate having a base which includes a plurality of terminal stations and a plurality of guide stations. The terminal stations and guide stations are separated from each other so as to provide a network of wire channels which communicate with wire passages which extend through the terminal and guide stations. The terminal stations also have terminal cavities which extends through the base to intersect the wire passages. The bus assembly further includes electrical busses comprising lengths of electrically conductive wire which pass through various terminal and guide stations via the network of wire channels.
