A heat recoverable electrical connector has a tubular enclosure that is open at each end to receive respective elongate electrical conductors. The openings are such that the conductors are receivable in the connector by bringing them thereto in a translational movement from a direction perpendicular to their axes; the need for accurate alignment of the conductors with the connector is thus avoided. The connector is subsequently heated to effect its recovery and to connect and encapsulate the conductors. Electrical connection between the conductors is enhanced by a solder ring located within the connector enclosure.
