Abstract
A heater preform comprised of a layer of magnetic material on a layer of nonmagnetic conductive metal comprises a self-regulating heater, and the heater preform is wrapped around or against a solder preform within a length of heat recoverable tubing. A conductor wire is inserted into one end of the tubing and a terminal solder tail into the other end; when radio frequency current is induced in the heater preform by a surrounding coil, the heater generates thermal energy melting the solder within the tubing, terminating the terminal to the wire, or two wires together. With sealant preforms at the ends of the tubing, the sealant preforms melt and the tubing shrinks to conform to the wire and terminal therewithin, sealing the termination simultaneously with forming the solder joint.
