Abstract
A wire connector assembly configured to provide a hermetic seal between two distinct environments and a method of constructing same is presented. The assembly includes insulated wire cables having ends that are spaced apart and joined by a wire splice element within a connector body, thereby interrupting a fluid leak path through the strands of the wire cables. The connector body formed of a fiberglass filled epoxide epoxy material may be over-molded the wire splice elements having a matte tin plated finish. A portion of connector body or the wire splice element may be disposed intermediate to the ends of the wire cables, providing an additional physical barrier to the fluid leak path. The materials selected and the shape of the wire splice elements are selected to mitigate the formation of microcracks between the connector body and splice elements that could allow the infiltration of gases through the connector assembly.
