  • Patent number: 5137478
    Abstract: This invention relates to a sealed solder wire connector assembly and method of use operable to connect to an electrical wire member. The sealed solder wire connector assembly includes 1) an electrical terminal member having a solder connector end section on one end of a main terminal body; and 2) a protective sleeve asesmbly mounted about the electrical terminal member and constructed of a heat shrink material with an adhesive coating on an inner surface thereof. The solder connector end section is of a semi-circular shape with a low temperature melt solder coating to receive the wire member thereagainst. Application of heat to the sealed solder connector assembly results in 1) melting of the solder coating into the wire member; 2) melting of the adhesive coating; 3) shrinking of the protective sleeve assembly about the wire member and the electrical terminal member; and 4) removing the heat to achieve an air tight fluid sealed solder wire connector assembly.
