Abstract (en)
A wire connector assembly (10) configured to inhibit leakage of fluids between two distinct environments and a method of constructing same is presented. The assembly (10) includes insulated wire cables (26a-26d, 28a-28d) having ends that are spaced apart and joined by a wire splice element (32a-32d) within a connector body (30), thereby interrupting a fluid leak path through the strands of the wire cables (26a-26d, 28a-28d). The connector body (30) may be over-molded the wire splice elements (32a-32d) and a portion of connector body (30) may be disposed intermediate to the ends of the wire cables (26a-26d, 28a-28d), providing an additional physical barrier to the fluid leak path. The wire splice element (32a-32d) may include wire crimp wings that are crimped to the ends of the wire cable (26a-26d, 28a-28d). The wire splice elements (32) may also include insulation crimp wings that may be crimped to the insulation to prevent insulation on the wire cables (26a-26d, 28a-28d) from pulling back and exposing wire strands.
