Abstract
Electrical connections for conductors on two spaced apart films are provided by means of a strip of connecting devices. The strip comprises a carrier strip with the connecting devices extending therefrom at spaced intervals. Each connecting device has first and second side-by-side crimp portions, each crimp portion being generally U-shaped. The connecting devices are crimped onto the two films by positioning one film between the arms of the first connecting devices of a section of the strip and the second film between the arms of the second connecting devices. The connecting devices are then crimped onto the film and the carrier strip is removed. A housing for the connecting devices is also disclosed.
