Abstract

An end connector fitting for splicing electrically conductive members, such as, coaxial cables together includes splicing devices which are threaded onto opposite ends of the fitting to cause deformable sleeve portions at opposite ends of the fitting to be crimped into sealed engagement with each electrically conductive member, and the splicing devices can be left in place after the crimping operation. The splicing devices may be formed with unitary tapered surface portions or separate tubular inserts with tapered surface portions to impart the necessary crimping force to the sleeve portions. In an alternate form, the fitting may be provided with a single splicing device at one end to crimp the sleeve portion into sealed engagement with an electrically conductive member and the opposite end being adapted for connection to a post or terminal.
