Abstract: The present disclosure describes protection devices for electrical connection assemblies. A protection device includes a first housing member having a main body having a length, the first housing member having a main channel, a first and second cable channel that together extend longitudinally the length of the main body, and an identical second housing member configured to be mated and secured to the first housing member via one or more locking mechanisms configured to be received by or engaged with one or more corresponding apertures and/or recesses. When the first and second housing members are mated together, the aligned main channels of the first and second housing members form an internal cavity configured to hold an electrical component therein and the aligned first and second cable channels are configured to hold respective cables connected to the electrical component therein. Other protection devices and related electrical connection assemblies are described herein.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes an insulation piercing connector having a pair of clamping jaws. At least one of the jaws includes at least one electrically conductive piercing member, and a male connector member extending outwardly from one of the clamping jaws. A clamping mechanism is configured to force the at least one piercing member through the insulation layers of the first and second cables and into electrical engagement with the conductors of the first and second cables to form an electrical connection between the first and second cables. An elastomeric seal is inserted over the terminal end of the first cable, and a protective end cap is secured to the male connector member and encloses the terminal end of the first cable.

Abstract: A connection protector kit for use with an electrical stub connection assembly, the stub connection assembly including first and second conductors forming a connection and defining a crotch therebetween, includes an insert assembly. The insert assembly includes an insert member and a sealant pad mounted on the insert member. The insert assembly is adapted to fit within the crotch of the stub connection assembly. The kit may further-include a cap defining a cavity and an opening communicating with the cavity, wherein the cavity and the opening are adapted to receive the stub connection assembly and the insert assembly is adapted to fit within the crotch of the stub connection assembly when the stub connection assembly is mounted in the cavity.

Abstract: The resilient sleeve member defines an axially extending inner passage. The holdout device includes a core mounted in the inner passage of the sleeve member. The core defines a core passage to receive the elongate substrate and has at least first and second sections. The first and second sections are arranged in a supporting position such that the core maintains the sleeve member in a radially expanded condition. The first and second sections are arranged for relative telescoping movement from the supporting position to a releasing position to permit at least a portion of the sleeve member to radially contract from the radially expanded position to a radially recovered position.
