Explanation:
...is one possible interpretation. See the reference below to a terminal thta incorporates this type of technology, though I have also come across it in a more 'straight' sleeve situtaion:

http://www.smp-training.com/Counterman/Wire/Pages/wire16.htm...

"The most positive terminal connections involve soldering the terminal to the wire. We make this job easy with our "Self Solder Heat Shrink Terminal". The terminal is supplied with a solder ring inside the barrel. You simply insert the stripped wire into the terminal and heat the terminal with a hot air gun or propane torch."

But another interpretation could also be the type of heat-shrinkable sleeves that have an adhesive lining, menaing that they not only grip, but also bond to, the wire etc. that they are sleeving.

Everything rests really on whether the '-soudeur' refers to 'soldering' (i.e. used to make the electrical connection as well) or simply 'bonding' in a purely adhesive sense. My vote goes for the former, but you'll need to see if the wider context gives you any clues.

GUIDANCE AND ADVICE - RECOMMENDED METHODS

Lap Splice


A lap splice is characterized as a non-structural solder splice, where the conductor ends are laid parallel and in overlapping contact to each other and terminated with a solder joint. The splice is typically configured as a simple splice, having one conductor mated to one conductor. Variations may have one conductor terminated to multiple conductors (a complex splice). The splice may be completed with a solder sleeve, or as a discrete solder termination with a heatshrink over-sleeve.

A lap splice may also be terminated with a solder sleeve. Solder sleeves offer the benefit of being an integrated termination system, with a fluxed solder preform contained in a heat shrinkable, self-sealing body that provides stress relief to the completed termination. Their use is readily accepted, but requires skill to achieve a properly formed, fully wetted termination. The solder sleeve termination is also typically more bulky than a simple solder termination with heat-shrinkable tubing. The termination shall comply with all the requirements of NASA-STD-8739.3 for a solder termination, including the following
