Abstract
A connector for self-regulating heat tapes in which a resistive element is sandwiched between laminar electrodes. The connector includes a cavity into which the heating tape is placed and within which the electrodes are contacted by respective contact members whose other ends contact a power lead or the electrodes of a similar heating tape. Preferably the contact members are metal strips which are elastically deformed when the heating strip is pushed into the connector and which are staggered within the connector.
