A method and assembly for protecting a device connected to a wiring harness is disclosed. The assembly includes a protective tubular shield and a positioning device, with the protective tubular shield having a bore for receiving the device at least partially therein. An elongated wiring harness extends from the device being protected and through the bore of the protective tubular shield. The positioning device is formed having a band and at least one flexible, resilient finger extending radially inwardly from the band. At least one of the fingers forcibly engages the wiring harness to releasably maintain the positioning device and the protective tubular shield in a protection position along the wiring harness at least partially surrounding the device being protected.

The present invention provides, in various embodiments, a push on cap for an electrical cable that can be both temporary and permanent. The cap includes an extension that can be folded back for temporary installation of the cap on the cable, and unfolded onto the cable for permanent installation.

Pulling eyes are provided with integrated wiring systems suitable for installing conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may include body portions that define interior cavities that are sized to snugly engage outside portions of the conductors or cables. The body portions are sized to be deformably crimped onto the outside portions of the conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may also include head portions joined to the body portions, with the head portions defining apertures for receiving a strength member for installing the conductors or cables. These apertures place the interior cavities in communication with the exteriors of the pulling eyes.

A curing material, having a solubility parameter of 9.4 or more, contains at least a chain transfer agent that contains a compound containing a polyether structure and two or more urethane bonds or two or more urea bonds in a molecule, and a metal-containing compound. A wire harness is manufactured by supplying the curing material to a conductor exposed portion of a wire bundle including a plurality of bundled insulated wires each having a conductor covered with a covering material made of an insulating body, the conductor exposed portion being formed by removing a part of the covering material of the wire bundle to expose the conductor inside; and curing the curing material by irradiating light in a state in which a surface of the curing material is covered with a protective member formed from a resin containing a plasticizer and having light transmissivity, thereby forming a waterproof portion.

A water proofing protecting cap that is placed over a terminal consolidation splice portion of a wire harness. The protecting cap being a dip molded transparent tubular body that is provided with a bottom portion wherein, from an opening for insertion at the other end, the protecting cap can be filled with a water sealant and a terminal consolidation splice portion of a wire harness is insertable. A marking line made by a rib on a male mold used in the dip molding is provided in a circumferential direction on an inner circumferential surface of a peripheral wall and is distanced by a required height from an inner surface of the bottom portion toward the opening, and a non-transparent line is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the peripheral wall following the marking line. The non-transparent line serving as a control line for a lower end position of the consolidation splice portion.

An exterior end portion cap is configured to be attached to an electrically conductive path and an exterior member. The exterior end portion cap includes an external exposure portion having a first blocking portion, an internal insertion portion having a second block portion, and an electrically conductive path housing recess portion formed to extend across the external exposure portion and the internal insertion portion. The first blocking portion has a planar portion configured to abut against the exterior member. The second blocking portion has holding piece portions that are deformable to wind around the electrically conductive path circumferentially. The electrically conductive path housing recess portion is formed into a concave portion that is so deep that a part of an outer surface of the electrically conductive path is pressed against an inner surface of the exterior member.

A wire insulator apparatus includes an insulator/separator member, a cap portion, a tube and potting material. The insulator/separator member has apertures formed therein for receiving a plurality of wires. By threading the wires through the insulator/separator member, the wires are spaced apart so that a potting material can be molded to provide a complete seal from the environment, particularly conductive liquids such as ammonia, which may cause short-circuiting between the wires. Individual wires are terminated in the cap portion, and the cap portion, the insulator/separator member and the wire ends are positioned within a tube or a mold portion depending on the application, and a potting epoxy is fluidly inserted within the tube. The epoxy surrounds or encases the wire ends within the tube or mold to insulate the wire ends in an airtight seal.

The assembly includes a protective elastic tubular body and a tubular core for holding the tubular body expanded including a first part and a second part which are associated, the core being in an operating position in which the second part covers the first part, and being configured for an elongate member to be inserted into its internal space in operating position and for a pull then applied to the first part to make it slide relative to the second part to reach an extended position in which it can no longer move in relation to the second part; the second part including legs projecting axially from a collar and connected to each other exclusively by the collar; in the operating position the collar and legs surround the first part; and in the extended position the collar surrounds the first part and the legs are axially beyond the first part.

A termination connection box for a direct-current (DC) cable, including: a connecting semiconducting layer configured to cover an exposed conductor of the DC cable and an insulating layer of the DC cable; a conductor withdrawal rod electrically connected to the exposed conductor of the DC cable; and a heat shrinkable tube formed of functionally gradient material having non-linear electrical characteristics. The heat shrinkable tube includes: a first end electrically connected to the conductor and which covers a portion of the conductor withdrawal rod and the connecting semiconducting layer; a second end opposite to the first end, electrically connected to the outer semiconducting layer, and which covers a portion of the outer semiconducting layer; and a middle portion positioned between the first end and the second end, and which is in direct contact with and covers an outer circumferential surface of the insulating layer.

A coaxial cable terminator assembly includes an electrically insulative substrate carried by a non-conductive cap in a receiving area thereof. The substrate carries outer and inner termination connections and an electrically resistive connector that electrically connects the outer termination connection to the inner termination connection. Outer and inner contacts are electrically connected to the outer and inner termination connections, respectively. The outer and inner contacts are for electrically contacting coaxial outer and inner conductors, respectively, of the end of a coaxial cable for terminating the end of the coaxial cable, and the cap is for frictionally and non-conductively engaging the coaxial cable, when the end of the coaxial cable is inserted into the receiving area.
