In a second sealing step, the previously fluid material of the seal 7 quickly sets up, since the electrical surfaces, in this case aluminum, provide excellent heat dissipation and the overmolding 7 can quickly cool off this way. Thus the heretofore fluid material instantaneously sets up and forms a secure seal before this material can possibly be pressed through the gasket.
