A shield terminator for sealing the splice of a ground lead wire and the shield of a coaxial cable. The shield terminator includes a solder band and a dam of thermoplastic material which has at least two lumens therein. One larger lumen receives the coaxial cable while the small lumen receives the ground lead wire. The presence of the thermoplastic material around both the cable and the lead wire insures that all interstices between the cable, wire and the sleeve of the shield terminator will be filled, preventing the escape of solder from the sleeve, and precluding entry of water and other contaminants into the splice.

A device for encapsulating an exposed portion of a conductor in an insulated cable and a lead wire connection, comprising: sleeve, means for surrounding the exposed portion of the conductor, said sleeve means having first and second ends; means for electrically connecting the exposed portion of the conductor to the lead wire, said connecting means being within said sleeve means and positioned intermediate said first and second ends thereof; and a first thermoplastic dam for sealing the device against environmental influences upon the application of heat having at least two lumens, said first dam being positioned within said sleeve means proximate said first end thereof. A dam for a shield terminator used to encapsulate an exposed portion of a conductor in an insulated cable and a lead wire adjacent to the exposed portion of the conductor, the dam comprising a ring of thermoplastic material having first and second lumens therein, said first lumen having a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the cable to be encapsulated, and said second lumen having a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the lead wire to be encapsulated. A method of manufacturing a shield terminator used to encapsulated an exposed portion of a conductor in an insulated cable, a lead wire being adjacent to the exposed portion of the conductor, comprising the steps of: obtaining a tubular sleeve member having first and second ends; positioning a first dam member in said sleeve member proximate said first end, said first dam member having at least first and second lumens therein, said first lumen having a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the cable to be installed and said second lumen having a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the lead wire to be installed; and inserting fusible bonding means in said sleeve member intermediate said first and second ends.
