Abstract

Apparatus and method for sealing an electrical connection between an anode structure for cathodic protection against corrosion and a connecting cable with an electrically insulating jacket, an annular body of elastic material, such as rubber for example, which surrounds in a sleeve-like manner the junction between an insulation-stripped end of the connecting cable and a socket on a current feed pin of titanium for the anode structure. By radial compression of a terminal body of plastically deformable material thrust onto the annular body the annular body is pressed at its one end onto the insulating jacket in the end area of the connecting cable and at its other end onto the outer surface of the current connecting pin of the anode structure, in a liquid-tight manner.
