FIGS. 6 and 7 show a second embodiment of the adapter with a cap in place, and
FIGS. 8 to 11 show the workflow of the production of a sealing device according to the present disclosure.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
If an electrical conductor 1 with a PVC or silicone insulation 2 to which conventional injection molding materials bond poorly is to be connected to a contact element 3 enclosed in a jacket 4 of insulation, problems may arise concerning not only the electrical bonding, but also the sealing of the connector plug.
In the exemplary device according to FIG. 1, the contact element 3 is depicted as a single-layer flat conductor. However, multi-layer flat conductors, busbars or other forms of electrical contacts can be alternatively used. For example, the flat conductor may measure 60 mm wide×1 mm thick; as an alternative flat conductors measuring 20×3 or 20×2 may also be used. The flat conductor 3 is enclosed in a jacket that is thicker on the narrow sides than on the broad sides, for example, 0.5 mm for the broad side and 1 mm for the narrow side.
