Abstract
A technique facilitates formation of secure connections for use in downhole environments. According to an embodiment, a connector may be constructed as a dry mate connector which provides both a sealed connection and a connection able to withstand a predetermined tensile loading. The connector comprises connector ends combined with an outer connector housing. Additionally, the connector comprises a shape memory alloy sealing system which may be activated to form a secure seal with a corresponding cable or other component feature. The connector also comprises a shape memory alloy retainer system which may be activated to securely grip the corresponding cable or other component feature so as to withstand substantial tensile loading acting on the corresponding cable or other component feature.
