Abstract

An external connection assembly for a conductor insulated by a compressible sleeve. The external conductor is in the form of a ring which is a compressingly fit on to the insulating sleeve and which is so dimensioned with respect to the sleeve that there is no discontinuity in the profile of the sleeve at the ring. Electrical continuity from the conductor to the ring is provided by a bridging wire which passes through the sleeve, the ends of the bridging wire being respectively clamped by compression fit between the conductor and the sleeve, and between the sleeve and the ring.
