  • Patent number: 9515472
    Abstract: A single wire seal for sealing an electric cable in an aperture of a terminal or a connector housing is provided. The single wire seal is provided with an essentially cylindrical shape and a through hole for the electric cable. The single wire seal further comprises a crimping portion for crimping the crimping section of a terminal on both the single wire seal and the electric cable. The single wire seal is molded out of a first, preferably relatively soft elastic material having a Young's modulus. For reducing deformations of the single wire seal due to the crimping, the single wire seal is further provided with a reinforcement element arranged at the crimping portion. The reinforcement element is preferably provided with at least one ring shaped portion. The reinforcement element is molded out of a second material, which has a higher Young's modulus than the first material.
