Patent ID: 7277628

Claim:
An electrical connection comprising a wire structure, a lead wire, and a crimp joint; the wire structure comprising an electrically conductive wire, an electrically insulating coating on the wire, and a fiber overwrap surrounding the insulating coating, the wire structure having an unwrapped end section without the fiber overwrap and a bare wire end of the unwrapped end section without the insulating coating; the lead wire comprising an electrically conductive wire and an insulating coating on the wire; the lead wire having a bare end without the insulating coating; the crimp joint comprising a crimp, a first sleeve, and a second sleeve; the crimp electrically connecting the bare wire end of the lead wire and the bare wire end of the wire structure; the first sleeve being positioned around the electrically insulating coating of the unwrapped end section of the wire structure; the second sleeve surrounding the insulating coating of the lead wire, the crimp, the insulating coating of unwrapped end section of the wire structure, and the first sleeve; and the second sleeve being thermally bonded to the insulating coating of the lead wire and thermally bonded to the insulating coating of the unwrapped end section and/or the first sleeve.
