  • Waterproof twist-on connector for electrical wires
    Patent number: 6958449
    Abstract: A twist-on connector for joining ends of electrical conductors has a shell of electrically insulating material with an aperture. An anaerobic sealant is within the aperture. Prior to use, the volume of sealant is sufficiently large so that curing of the sealant is inhibited. Upon insertion of wires into the shell, the anaerobic sealant is dispersed into gaps between the wires and the shell that are sufficiently small to trigger curing of the anaerobic sealant into a hardened state.
