  • Noble metal plated wire and terminal assembly, and method of making the same
    Patent number: 5097100
    Abstract: A lightweight, substantially corrosion-proof, conductive wire and terminal assembly (10) comprising a wire (12) laid on and welded to a terminal pad (18) at or near the end (16) of the wire. The wire (12) has an electrically conductive core (24) having a cylindrical surface. The cylindrical surface is substantially completely enveloped in a sheath of noble metal plating (26, 28). The terminal pad (18) has a noble metal surface where it is welded to the cylindrical surface of the wire (12), so the joint (22) formed by the weld is substantially sheathed in a noble metal, and thus is substantially as corrosion-proof as the noble metal sheath (26, 28) and terminal pad (18). The wire (12) is preferably covered with insulation (30) except at its end (16), which may be stripped.
