Linking device between a cable and contact element

摘要

In a linking device ( 1 ) between strands ( 6 ) of a cable ( 3 ) and a contact element ( 4 ) comprising a hollow intermediate tube ( 9 ) provided with a channel, the tube has a first aperture ( 11 ) used for the insertion of one end ( 2 ) of the cable into the channel and a second aperture ( 17 ) to cooperate with the contact element. The tube is a solid part like the contact element. It is made of a material having a coefficient of expansion similar to that of the strands. This tube enables connexion between strands with a coefficient of expansion different from that of the contact element with which they have to be connected.
