Prior to application of the dielectric-containing material, the braided lead wire is at least partially impregnated with a masking material deterring wicking of the dielectric-containing material into an intermediate portion of the braided lead wire. In certain cases, the masking material may be removed from the braided lead wire after curing, and the electrically-insulative body may be sealed within a canister.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: James Piascik, Eric Passman, Robert Franconi
