The invention relates to a shape memory element for connecting braid (1) onto a connector (2). The element is constituted by a roll (3), with two reversible memorized shape states. A first memorized shape state permits the ensuring of electric contact and the mechanical holding of the braid on the corresponding rear zone of the connector (2), and the second memorized shape state permits the engagement or disengagement of the braid and the rear zone of the connector. Application for connectors for electric cables.

Shape memory element for connecting braid onto a connector

The invention relates to a connection unit of universal type. This comprises two complementary connection elements (1,2) with a coaxial structure having at least one peripheral part and a central conductive core. The peripheral part(s) of one of the connection elements (1) are in sleeve form. The sleeves (10) and the contact (11) are mounted movably in translation in the direction of the longitudinal axis .DELTA. of the male element (1). The sleeves (10) and the contact (11) are mechanically independent. The connector of this invention has application to connectors for radio frequency and/or numerical or analog signals.
