ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for connecting the end portions of electric wires to each other prevents the generation of a respiratory action in the connected end portions of the electric wires and thereby improves connection quality and connection working performance, and reduces the size of the connected portions. Insulating coatings of the end portions of electric wires are removed to provide exposed conductors. The exposed conductors are collected and integrated into a collective conductor and a tapered insulating cap having an opening at one of its ends is fitted over the collective conductor with portions of the insulating coatings adjoining the collective conductor. Waterproof agents are injected into and filled within the insulating cap, the peripheral edges of the opening of the insulating cap are welded and fixed to the insulating coatings to thereby close the opening hermetically, and the end portions of the electric wires including the collective conductor embedded in the waterproof agents are stored and hermetically sealed in the insulating cap.
