Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a cable sealing structure comprising a cable sealing body including a gel and methods of making anisotropic behavior in cable sealing structures made with a dry silicone gel. In one aspect, various three-dimensional printing techniques are used to make a cable sealing structure that includes a gel. The cable sealing body has a construction that elastically deforms to apply an elastic spring load to the gel. The cable sealing body has a construction with anisotropic deformation characteristics that allows the cable sealing body to be less deformable in one direction than in others. The cable sealing structure can be utilized to seal fiber optic cables more uniformly while limiting the potential of leakage.

Anisotropic cable sealing gels; and methods for fabricating cable sealing gels

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to structures and designs that allow gels to be used to conform freely to optical cables while simultaneously minimizing the displacement of the gel due to deformation forces acting on the gel.

Cable seals with reinforcements

Provided are devices for electrical connectors to provide indication that the electrical connectors are not energized. Devices include a first indicator that includes a first indication technology that is configured to provide a first visual indication corresponding to a voltage of a primary conductor and a second indicator that includes a second indication technology that is different from the first indication technology and that is configured to provide a second visual indication corresponding to the voltage of the primary conductor.

Indicators for safe disconnection of electrical circuits

A reflowable thermal fuse including a fuse body, a conductive composite element disposed within the fuse body, first and second conductive terminals connected to the conductive composite element and extending out of the fuse body, a removable barrier covering a surface of the conductive composite element and in electrical communication with the first and second conductive terminals, and a solvent element disposed on the removable barrier and separated from the conductive composite element by the removable barrier, wherein the removable barrier has a fusing temperature that is greater than a reflow temperature of the reflowable thermal fuse.

Reflowable thermal fuse

A fuse includes first, second, and third terminals disposed on a substrate. Respective ends of one or more primary conductors of the fuse are connected to one of the first and the second terminals. The primary conductors have a first conductivity and are configured to open when a primary current between the first and the second terminals exceeds a first predetermined threshold. One or more secondary conductors have an end connected to the third terminal. The secondary conductors are configured to ignite when a secondary current through the secondary conductors exceeds a second predetermined threshold. When ignited, the secondary conductors open the primary conductors to thereby stop the primary current.

Oxygen barrier compositions for electrical devices and their related methods are provided. In certain embodiments, the oxygen barrier compositions comprise a meta-substituted aromatic resin and an additional aromatic epoxy resin. In some embodiments, the compositions have a chlorine content of less than approximately 1000 ppm. The compositions may have an oxygen permeability of less than approximately 0.4 cm&#xb7;mm/m&#xb7;atm&#xb7;day at approximately 0% relative humidity and approximately 23&#xb0; C. In certain embodiments, methods of curing the oxygen barrier compositions comprise partially curing the composition where, the partial cure is achieved through ultraviolet radiation or heat.

A circuit protection device includes a substrate with first and second electrodes connected to the circuit to be protected. The circuit protection device also includes a heater element. A sensing element facilitates an electrical connection between the first and second electrodes. A flux material is provided around the sensing element. In a preferred embodiment, the flux contains a first component that is a polar material and a second component that is a non-polar material. A spring element exerts a force on the sensing element. The sensing element resists the force applied by the spring element. Upon detection of an activation, or fault, condition, the sensing element loses resilience and no longer resists the force exerted by the spring element, resulting in the spring element severing the electrical connection between the first and second electrodes. The flux allows the spring element to sever the electrical connection without dragging the sensing element.

Reflowable circuit protection device

A circuit protection device includes a housing, which includes first and second electrodes. The device includes a conductive slider inside the housing. At a first location within the housing, the slider provides an electrical connection between the first and second electrodes. At a second location within the housing, the slider does not provide the electrical connection. A spring is secured to and stretched between the slider and an inner side of the housing such that the spring is held in tension in an expanded state. The slider is held at the first location by a solder between the slider and the first and second electrodes. After the device is armed, detection of an over-temperature condition causes the solder to begin to melt and the spring to compress and pull the slider to the second location within the housing, thus severing the electrical connection between the first and second electrodes.

An electrical connector for mechanically and electrically connecting first and second cables, each including an elongate electrical conductor covered by an insulation layer, includes a connector body, an electrically conductive first insulation piercing feature on the connector body, an electrically conductive second insulation piercing feature on the connector body and electrically connected to the first insulation piercing feature, and a compression mechanism. The first insulation piercing feature is configured to pierce through the first insulation layer and electrically engage the first electrical conductor. The second insulation piercing feature is configured to pierce through the second insulation layer and electrically engage the second electrical conductor. The compression mechanism is configured and operable to apply a clamping load along a clamping axis extending through both of the first and second electrical conductors to force the first and second insulation piercing features into electrical engagement with the first and second electrical conductors, respectively.

The at least one jaw member is configured to clamp the conductor within the interior cavity. The sealant containment membrane is disposed in the interior cavity and defines a sealant chamber. The sealant is contained in the sealant chamber in the interior cavity to environmentally protect an electrical contact engagement between the conductor and the electrical connector when the conductor is clamped in the interior cavity by the at least one jaw member.
