This tutorial will cover Connector Design Guidelines and Processing for
the Connector Sealant Strips.
Dow Corning® Connector Sealant Pads and Sealant Strips provide
sealing and corrosion protection for indoor and outdoor equipment, including
connectors and electrical components. Connector sealant pads are designed
primarily for sealing the individual pins, wires and contacts within
connectors. Sealant strips are intended for sealing and protection uses other
than connector such as alternatives to wet dispensed coatings, pottants and
adhesives in protecting electronic equipment or providing low pressure gasket
seals. Dow Corning® Connector Sealant Pads have a drier surface on top and
bottom for easier handling during application. Dow Corning® Sealant Strips
are supplied with at least one side tacky for added adhesion to surfaces.
There is a separate tutorial containing a general overview of this Connector Sealant Strip product line
located here.
Another tutorial presents a general overview of Dow Corning® Sealant Pads.

Dow Corning® Sealant Strips are formed from soft silicone gel impregnated into
an open cell foam. The silicone gel provides critical sealing and protection
properties. The open cell foam is used mainly as a carrier for the gel and
helps to add strength and dimensional stability. Depending on the product
type, strips may be provided in this basic form with both sides tacky or one
side of the gel can be supplied with Teflon, rubber or foam backing. Backing
materials increase the strength, abrasion resistance and ease of handling of
the strips. Versions are also available with added flame resistance and UV
stability. Sealant strips can be provided in roll form or pre-cut shapes in
all forms with backing materials. The unbacked strips are provided in roll
form only. Various widths and thicknesses are available for each strip
product.
