ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for waterproofing electrical connectors for use in deep water and abusive environments such as that involving seismograph underwater exploration. The present invention combines the technology expressed in the referenced prior art with a method for sealing pin wiring connections and bonding the wiring sheath insulation to a pliable molded body surrounding a central core encompassing the connectors pins in a single injection molding operation. The process includes providing a length of special cable having one or more conductors with multiple sheaths for attachment to an underwater type cable connector having at least one sheath compatible with the injection molded body, the compatible sheath and a portion of its compatible outer jacket being integrally molded to form the connector's body. A water-block is also provided to prevent back flow of water under pressure from being forced between the conductors and between strands of the conductors and entering the connector of a main supply cable if the cable jacket is torn.
