A method for mounting a preformed seal on a substrate comprises the steps of providing the preformed seal at a predetermined position relative to the substrate, at least a part of the preformed seal being spaced at a distance from the substrate; arranging a mold in contact with the substrate and the preformed seal, wherein the mold holds the preformed seal at the predetermined position and wherein the mold, the substrate and the preformed seal delimit a mold cavity. Further, the method comprises at least partially filling the mold cavity with a solidifiable composition, wherein the solidifiable composition is in contact with the substrate and the preformed seal bridging the distance; and solidifying the solidifiable composition, whereby the solidifiable composition forms a molded part adhering to the preformed seal and to the substrate. The preformed seal and the solidifiable composition are configured to adhere to each other.

An insert molding component includes a primary molding section having a concave portion formed in one surface thereof, the concave portion including stepped lower and upper concave portions, an insert component disposed on a bottom surface of the lower concave portion, a heat-insulating component disposed in the upper concave portion above an opening of the lower concave portion in which the insert component is disposed, and a secondary molding section disposed in contact with the one surface of the primary molding section.

The invention relates to a method for producing a cable, comprising both a molding tool with a cavity and with at least one first opening, and a line, said line consisting of at least one wire and a sheath surrounding the at least one wire. According to the invention, the line is inserted into the cavity and is guided out of the cavity via at least the first opening. A molding compound is injected into the cavity of the molding tool in a pressurized manner, wherein the line is pressed onto a seal surface of the cavity by means of the pressure of the molding compound, and the line closes the cavity at the seal surface.

A method of manufacturing a sensor device comprising: configuring a moulding support structure and a packaging mould so as to provide predetermined pathways to accommodate a moulding compound, the moulding support structure defining a first notional volume adjacent a second notional volume. An elongate sensor element and the moulding support structure are configured so that the moulding support structure fixedly carries the elongate sensor element and the elongate sensor element resides substantially in the first notional volume and extends towards the second notional volume, the elongate sensor element having an electrical contact electrically coupled to another electrical contact disposed within the second notional volume. The moulding support structure carrying (102) the elongate sensor element is disposed within the packaging mould (106). The moulding compound is then introduced (110) into the packaging mould during a predetermined period of time (112) so that the moulding compound fills the predetermined pathways, thereby filling the second notional volume and surrounding the elongate sensor element within the second notional volume without contacting the elongate sensor element.

A connector cavity assembly for a medical device, comprising at least one connector cavity comprising a plurality of electrically conductive electrode contacts spaced apart from each other and a plurality of electrically insulating insulation elements, wherein the electrode contacts and the insulation elements are arranged alternatingly; and a connector cavity housing. The connector cavity assembly is characterized in that the at least one connector cavity is removably arranged within the connector cavity housing, wherein the connector cavity housing exerts a pretension on the at least one connector cavity leading to a liquid-tight sealing between the insulation elements and the electrode contacts.
