Connector Sealant Pads and Strips Overview


Dow Corning®  connector sealant pads provide sealing and corrosion protection for miniaturized multiway connectors and cable entries. They are used in connectors for grommet, perimeter, and face seal applications, replacing the need for individual wire seals, multiwire block seals, or mold-in-place sealants.

The connector sealant pads self-healing characteristics' allow for multiple insertions and extractions of the connector contact while maintaining a seal with the contact removed or reinserted. Mechanical, electrical, chemical, and thermal testing, as well as use on production connectors, has shown that the connector sealant pads form a re-enterable, tight environmental seal.  They are ideal for automotive underhood electronics, commercial connectors, and electrical interface applications.  The pad consists of a three-layer laminate. The middle layer is a thick, soft silicone gel with excellent sealing capabilities under compression. The thin top and bottom layers allow easier handling of the pad as a whole.

Potential Uses
Provide sealing and corrosion protection for miniaturized multiway connectors and cable entries requiring low insertion force.

Application Method
Cold applied, either automatically or manually, requiring no heating or curing. The pad forms an instant environmental barrier in both hot and cold temperatures. A rapid seal is created without the delay of lengthy cure cycles.
