Connector and Coupling Options to Keep Conductors Dry
Chuck Ross

Steve Maurer, IME

If you're a J.R.R. Tolkien fan, you recognized that headline reference. Or if you're a movie buff and watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy, you're familiar with the little jar of liquid that lit up when you talked to it.

Chuck Ross

A number of materials can be used to manufacture electrical connectors and couplers, with steel and zinc leading the pack.
