Abstract

The invention relates to a shape memory element for connecting braid (1) onto a connector (2). The element is constituted by a roll (3), with two reversible memorized shape states. A first memorized shape state permits the ensuring of electric contact and the mechanical holding of the braid on the corresponding rear zone of the connector (2), and the second memorized shape state permits the engagement or disengagement of the braid and the rear zone of the connector. Application for connectors for electric cables.
