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.
