An assembly for forming a semi-permanent electrical connection between a pai r of wires (1, 2) comprises a male push-fit connector (3) and a female push-fit connector (4). Each connector (3, 4) has a connection part to enable it to be connected to the wire, e.g. in the form of a crimp (5, 6) and a mating part for engagement to the other connector. Each of the connectors has a seal- ing jacket (8, 10) for sealing the connection to the associated wire, and on e of the connectors has a heat-recoverable skirt (11) which, when the connectors are engaged, extends over part of the sealing jacket of the other connector to seal the connection against moisture ingress. The skirt (11) is provided with a layer of adhesiv e for forming the seal. |
