ABSTRACT:
The coupling is constituted by a split sleeve (1) made of material having shape memory. The sleeve (1) is capable of occupying a first memorized shape state (I) in which electrical and mechanical interconnection is provided between electrical conductors (2, 3). In a second memorized shape state (II) the sleeve allows the conductors to be freely inserted or removed from the sleeve (1). The sleeve is capable of passing reversibly between said first and second states under the effects of temperature changes.
