ABSTRACT:
A waterproof electrical connection includes a wire connector including a housing having a cavity and an insert having a surface adapted for receiving at least two metallic wires disposed within the cavity of the housing; at least two metallic wires having exposed metallic surfaces, wherein a portion of the exposed surface of one wire is in contact with a portion of the exposed surface of the second wire, and further wherein a portion of the exposed surfaces of the at least two wires are in contact with the surface of the insert to define at least one contact point; and an anaerobic sealant disposed within the cavity, wherein only a portion of the anaerobic sealant proximal to the one at least contact point is in a cured state while the remaining sealant is in an uncured state. The connection may further include an air permeable cap disposed over the open end of the housing. The sealant is a thixotropic gel having a viscosity from about 100,000 centipoise to about 5,000,000 centipoise or is a solid which is non-flowable at room temperature.
