ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a connector and method of connecting electrical conductors or other substrates. It is particularly suited to making connections between coaxial cables, even those having different diameters. The connector is a shell comprising a hollow heat-recoverable member having two open ends, an electrically conductive deformable member disposed within the heat-recoverable member and a quantity of solder also disposed within the heat-recoverable member. To make a connection, the conductors are inserted into different ends of the sleeve and the assembly heated to cause recovery of the heat-recoverable member. The recovery force of the recoverable member deforms the deformable member into close contact with the conductors to provide mechanical strength to the connection and electrical contact between the conductors. The heat used to bring about recovery also fuses the solder to improve both the mechanical and electrical integrity of the connection.
