ABSTRACT:
A twist-on spring connector includes a multi-piece connector assembly in which a wire or wire bundle is first joined together and subsequently encapsulated into a moisture-resistant sealant. A shell has an open end, a closed end, spaced apart landings including shoulders adjacent the open end and a sealant material in the closed end. A spring holder has sealant passages and spaced apart flanges. The spring holder is mounted in the shell so that the flanges engage the landings. The flanges are limited from movement in a first direction by the shoulders during wire insertion and are movable in a second direction to channels between the landings permitting the spring holder to move toward the closed end of the shell and receive sealant in the sealant passages. An end cap is mounted in the open end of the shell so that the spring holder is retained in the shell and the flanges of the spring holder are movable relative to the landings.
