Abstract:
A shield for spliced electrical connections includes a cover for T-tap electrical connections. In embodiments, the cover includes complementary halves designed to quickly and securely snap together when the halves are mated with each other to create a shield for a T-tap connection. Fully assembled, the shield provides sleeves that allow the cables being spliced to enter and/or exit the shield. Each of the sleeves is provided with an adhesive sealant that tightly seals the shield against contamination from the elements. Integrated with the cover are structural elements such as gussets that enhance the resistance of the shield to impact damage such as crushing. The shield may be molded from a polymer that, when cured, provides a rigid or semi-rigid cover that generally protects the t-tap connection from all types of environmental damage.
