  • Patent number: 12181349
    Abstract: The disclosure describes devices and systems for a color-changing torque seal. A system includes multiple electrical connections. Each electrical connection of the multiple electrical connections includes a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector that contacts the first electrical connector. Each electrical connection further includes a color-changing torque seal disposed on the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector. The color-changing torque seal is configured to change color responsive to a temperature change of one or more of the first electrical connector or the second electrical connector.
    Type: Grant
