ABSTRACT CONNECTING DEVICE A connecting device includes a socket member having at least two tines, the tines having an unstrained configuration from which at least one of the tines can be resiliently deformed away from the other tines to define a socket for receiving and holding a substrate, and a band of heat recoverable metal defining a driver member which in its martensitic phase loosely surrounds the tines so that at least one of the tines can be resiliently deformed outwardly when defining the socket member without deforming the driver member. The driver member when warmed to a temperature at which the metal is in its austenitic phase, recovers inwardly and exerts a supplementary inward force on the tines. In the martensitic phase of the metal, the tines alone hold the substrate within the socket with sufficient force to provide a physical connection.
