Abstract
The invention provides a connector for flat connections adapted for connecting electrically together printed circuit tracks or printed circuit tracks to a flat cable or two flat cables together. The connector includes a sleeve made from a shape memory material in which the conducting elements intended to be in electric contact are superimposed. The sleeve is adapted for applying transverse forces under the effect of a predetermined temperature so that electric continuity may be provided between these elements.
