Wire termination device for coupling a wire to a feedthrough device and system including the same

A wire termination system comprising:

• a feedthrough device comprising a pin;
• a wire termination device comprising:
• a housing having a first end and a second end spaced apart from the first end in a longitudinal direction, the housing coupled to a wire at the first end of the housing, the housing defining a cavity and an opening to the cavity at the first end of the housing, and
• a retention member coupled to an inside surface of the housing such that the retention member extends from the inside surface into the cavity of the housing, the retention member engaged with the pin of the feedthrough device to retain the pin of the feedthrough device in the cavity of the housing.

A method for connecting a wire with a feedthrough device, the method comprising:

• coupling the wire to a wire termination device at a second end of a housing of the wire termination device, the housing having a first end spaced apart from the second end in a longitudinal direction and defining a cavity open at the first end of the housing;
• and
• after coupling the wire to the wire termination device, inserting a pin of a feedthrough device into the cavity of the wire termination device until a retention member of the wire termination device engages the pin of the feedthrough device and retains the pin of the feedthrough device in the cavity of the housing,
• wherein the retention member is coupled to an inside surface of the housing such that the retention member extends from the inside surface into the cavity of the housing.
