  • Patent number: 4639060
    Abstract: Connection is made to an insulated conductor (26) by the connector (2) of the invention without the need to pre-strip the conductor. The connector (2) comprises two contact members (12,14) that overlap to provide an aperture (21) for receipt of the insulated conductor (26). The connector (2) is recoverable, preferably by means of a memory metal strip (6), to cause the contact members (12,14) to slide relative to each other to reduce the aperture size, pierce the conductor insulation, and exert a permanent gripping force on the conductor.

  • Patent number: 4514031
    Abstract: A heat recoverable electrical connector has a tubular enclosure that is open at each end to receive respective elongate electrical conductors. The openings are such that the conductors are receivable in the connector by bringing them thereto in a translational movement from a direction perpendicular to their axes; the need for accurate alignment of the conductors with the connector is thus avoided. The connector is subsequently heated to effect its recovery and to connect and encapsulate the conductors. Electrical connection between the conductors is enhanced by a solder ring located within the connector enclosure.
