A terminal assembly for sealing and electrically isolating a conducting terminal from a container of an electrolytic device uses a lock nut and a single-piec e deformable gasket. When the lock nut is threaded down the terminal, an inwardly tapered sleeve of the lock nut cooperates with an outwardly tapered zone of the gasket to forc e the gasket to surround the opening of the container and to seal the terminal before compression is applied. Reliable sealing and electrical insulation are provided because predetermined axial and radial compression forces are generated on the openi ng of the container. A robust sealed terminal is provided while over compression of th e single- piece gasket is prevented. |
