A termination cap for terminating an electrical lead to a stud of an electrode, said termination cap comprising:
- a body;
- and
- a receptacle extending into the body, the receptacle comprising a size and shape that is complimentary to the stud of the electrode such that the receptacle is configured to receive at least a portion of the stud therein, wherein the receptacle is configured such that when the stud is received within the receptacle, the receptacle is configured to hold a portion of the electrical lead between the body and the stud such that the electrical lead is engaged with and electrically connected to the stud free of welding. soldering, or crimping to the termination cap.
An electrode lead assembly comprising:
- a termination cap including a body and a receptacle extending into the body;
- an electrode comprising a stud, at least a portion of the stud being received within the receptacle;
- and
- an electrical lead, a portion of the electrical lead extending within the receptacle between the stud and the body of the termination cap such that the electrical lead is engaged with and electrically connected to the stud free of welding, soldering, or crimping to the termination cap.
An electrical lead assembly for termination to a stud of an electrode, said electrical lead assembly comprising:
- an electrical lead;
- and
- a termination cap comprising a body and a receptacle extending into the body, the receptacle comprising a size and shape that is complimentary to the stud of the electrode such that the receptacle is configured to receive at least a portion of the stud therein, wherein the receptacle is configured such that when the stud is received within the receptacle, the receptacle is configured to hold a portion of the electrical lead between the body and the stud such that the electrical lead is engaged with and electrically connected to the stud free of welding. soldering, or crimping to the termination cap.
