Title: Heat recoverable connector
IPC: H01R4/70
Filed: 1981-07-27
Abstract: A heat recoverable connector device formed from a first body (12) of polymeric material at least a substantial part of which is in a substantially dimensionally heat stable state and a second body (18) of polymeric material at least part of which has been deformed to render the material heat-recoverable, part only of the first body (12) being bonded to fit part only of the heat-recoverable second body (18).
