Abstract

Abstract A metal terminal body provided with an external coating of brazing material and a threaded portion for connecting the terminal body to a holding rod which is used for positioning and installing the terminal body, along with one or more conductor wires attached thereto, inside a metal tube. While held by the rod, the terminal body is braced against the tube wall at a selected location by means of a block inserted into the tube by means of another rod and which permits the block to be moved in sliding contact with the holding rod and the tube wall. The tube is externally heated to melt the brazing material on the terminal body to fuse same to the tube wall after which the block is withdrawn and the holding rod is disconnected from the terminal body.
