<p>An article suitable for use in making a butt joint between first and second electrical conductors at least the first of which is a flat conductor. The article comprises an elongate electrically conductive member having two end portions each of which end portions is shaped to contact a respective electrical conductor, and the end portion which is shaped to contact the flat conductor having a generally flat surface portion for engagement with the flat conductor. The electrically conductive member is provided with a quantity of solder on at least the surface(s) thereof that will contact the conductors and is substantially infusible at the temperature to which the article is heated to cause fusing of the solder. At least part of the electrically conductive member is open in cross-section so that a soldered connection made using the article can be inspected. In use, conductors to be joined can be placed in contact with the article and heat applied to join the conductors to the article.</p> |
