ABSTRACT:
A joint assembly for holding electrical conductors together comprises a connector which loosely engages the conductors when the assembly is subjected to relatively high temperatures. The connector is made of a material which has a sufficiently higher coefficient of expansion then the coefficient of expansion the material used for the electrical conductors in order to cause a differential shrinkage of the connector onto the conductors for a clamping engagement therebetween when the assembly is subjected to relatively low temperatures.
