Abstract
A gas spring seal cap secured a first end member of a gas spring and damper assembly such that a substantially fluid-tight connection is formed therebetween. Seal cap includes a seal cap body with a first end surface portion and a second end surface portion. An electrical conductor extends through seal cap body that includes a first terminal end conductively accessible from along the first end surface portion and a second terminal end that is conductively accessible from along the second end surface portion of seal cap body. Electrical conductor includes a substantially impermeable portion having a substantially fluid-tight connection with seal cap body. The substantially impermeable portion of electrical conductor substantially inhibits fluid communication across seal cap body through electrical conductor. Gas spring and damper assemblies as well as methods of assembly are also included.
