Abstract

The connector connects two electric conductors together in a sealed manner, providing dielectric continuity of the conductor insulation as well as conductive continuity of the conductors. Said connector comprises a connector sleeve (2) having a conductive portion (21) made of a malleable material and a cavity (23) for accommodating a bared end portion (5) of a conductor as well as an adjacent insulated portion of said conductor. The sleeve (2) is covered by an insulating covering (6) which completely surrounds the conductive portion (21) and is folded over at the ends to line those parts of the cavity (23) which receive insulated portions of the conductors to be joined.
