摘要：A strap (100) comprised of a layer of magnetic material (108) on a layer of

nonmagnetic conductive metal (106) comprises a self-regulating heater, which is wrappedaround a length of heat recoverable tubing disposed around a terminal being terminatedto a conductor wire (70), or a pair of wires being spliced. When energized, the strap (100)generates thermal energy melting solder of a preform within the tubing, terminating theterminal to the wire (70), or the two wires together, and sealing the terminationsimultaneously. A plurality of terminals in a connector housing (40) include solder tailsextending rearwardly from the housing (40) so that respective wire ends may be placedtherealong within solder preforms within heat recoverable tubing therearound. A strap(100) comprising a self-regulating temperature source is wrapped around the array ofsolder tails and wire ends (76) and is energized to solder the array and seal theterminations. A high frequency alternating current induced in or transmitted to themagnetic layer (108) of the strap (100) causes the strap to generate thermal energysufficient to melt the solder and shrink the tubing. The strap (100) may have severallayers and may be shapable to conform to the outer surfaces of the heat recoverabletubing lengths. A strap may seal an open end of a length of heat recoverable tubinghaving a sealant preform therewithin, when wrapped therearound and energized.
