Abstract
Method and apparatus for making multiconductor electrical cable termination assembly and method of making the same having an integral structural combination of a multiconductor electrical cable, a plurality of electrical contacts, and a housing part that is molded about at least a portion of each of the contacts and a portion of the cable. Each contact forms a function with a respective conductor of the cable, and the integral housing part is molded with the assistance of a mold core under elevated temperature and pressure conditions so that each of the junctions is fully encapsulated by the molded body part to create a hermetically sealed junction zone which is free of air, moisture, oxygen, and other like deleterious contaminants, and which helps to prevent the contamination of the function when the cable termination assembly is utilized in a hostile environment.
