Abstract: A wire connector having a conductive barrel with a solder disc disposed in the barrel with wire retaining means to hold the wires in place during heating and melting of the solder disc to form a permanent connection. A shrinkable sleeve, provided with means of sealing, formed around the barrel and extending beyond the ends of the barrel is also shrunk down onto the wires to seal and insulate the connection and hold the wires.

Abstract: A wire connector having a conductive barrel with a solder mass disposed in the barrel is formed with wire retaining means to hold the wires in place during heating and melting of the solder to form a permanent connection. A shrinkable sleeve, provided with means of sealing, formed around the barrel and extending beyond the ends of the barrel is also shrunk down onto the wires to seal and insulate the connection and hold the wires.

Abstract: An improved sealant pad comprises a rectangular field of viscous sealant supported by a tough flexible film substrate. The substrate and sealant field may have the same dimensions of length and width but generally the substrate will extend beyond the sealant field on at least two opposing sides. One or more of these extending borders of substrate may be advantageously coated with adhesive thereby providing sealant pads with up to four extending flaps of adhesive coated substrate surrounding the sealant field. The sealant pads may be produced in a variety of configurations and are useful for environmentally sealing electrical connections such as are found in wiring harnesses.
