Definitions
- the invention relates to dielectric compositions useful for filling electrical connectors, principally for the purpose of excluding moisture.
- the connectors containing the present composition have particular application for splicing the conductors of telephone cables. In use, the ends of telephone conductors are inserted into a plastic tube containing our composition.
- An example of a connector of the type for which our composition is useful is described in DAscoli Pat. 2,906,810, issued in 1959. This patent describes a splice where the conductors are bared and twisted together. More recently, however, connectors have been developed, such as that described in Smith Pat.
- our composition contain 5 to 15, and preferably 8 to 12, parts by weight of dioctyl sebacate, and that it shall pour freely at 190 F. but be free from flow at 140 F.
- a composition was prepared by heating 45 parts of Sun XX mineral oil, which is available from the Sun Oil Company, to 250 F.
- Sun XX oil has a specific gravity, at 60 F., of .922 to .934, a flash point of 460 to 470 R, an SU viscosity, at 210 F., of 104 to 132 seconds, a maximum pour point of 15 F.; and an aromatic content of 38 to 51%.
- the mineral oil in our composition is used as a solvent for the polyethylene moiety and its selection is not critical so long as it has a Saybolt Universal (SU) viscosity at 210 F. between 55 and 135 seconds and a pour point between 5 and 20 F., and is present to a weight percent between 30 and 55 and preferably between 42 and 46, of the composition.
- SU Saybolt Universal
- the Piccopale 100 is available from Pennsylvania Industrial Chemical Corporation and is obtained by the Catalytic polymerization of a mixture of monomers derived from deep cracking petroleum.
- the monomers have a. molecular weight of approximating 90, and are com posed essentially of dienes and reactive olefins.
- the resin has a ball and ring softening point of about 100 C., a specific gravity at 25 C. of .970 to .975, a refractive index at 20 C. of 1.5116, an acid number less than 1.0, a Wijs iodine value of about 120, a bromine number of about 7.3, and a molecular weight of about 1100.
- the weight percent of Piccopale may include as few as 20 and as many as 40 parts of this resin.
- composition of the example was found to have a Gardner viscosity, at 212 F., of 312 centipoises and was tested as follows:
- Corrosion test -Cpper and aluminum conductors and brass and tinned bronze connector parts were coated with the composition of the example and maintained at 150 F. for 14 days. Thereafter the metal parts were examined and found to be free from any signs of corrosion.
- a homogeneous composition for filling electrical connectors consisting essentially of:
- composition of claim 1 wherein the parts by weight of said polyethylene are 12 to 16, the parts by weight of said resinous polymerization product are 28 to 33, and the parts by weight of said dioctyl se bacate are 8 to 12.
