Abstract
An apparatus and method are disclosed that may include a contact pin; and a plurality of loops of conductive wire, coated with insulation material, disposed in proximity to the contact pin, wherein along at least one portion of the conductive wire, at least one edge of the contact pin extends through the insulation material and thereby forms conductive electrical contact with the conductive wire.
Claims13
A method comprising:
- providing a wrap of conductive wire coated with insulation material to form a plurality of loops of the conductive wire;
- and
- advancing a contact pin with respect to the plurality of loops of at least one conductive wire to cut through the insulation material and establish a conductive electrical connection between the contact pin and at least one of the conductive wire loops.
A method comprising:
- wrapping conductive wire, coated with insulation material, around a wrapping post having a hollow portion extending through the post along a same axis about which the wire is wrapped, thereby providing one or more wire wrap loops about the post;
- extending the one or more loops across the hollow portion of the wrapping post;
- inserting a at least one pin of a connector into the hollow portion of the wrapping post;
- causing the at least one connector pin to cut through at least a portion of the wire insulation material of one or more of the wire loops;
- and
- establishing electrically conductive contact between the connector pin and the one or more of the wire loops.

A method comprising:
- providing a connector having a connector pin extending therefrom, wherein the connector pin has a root connected to a body of the connector and a tip, and wherein the connector pin includes one or more edges extending along a length thereof;
- wrapping insulated conductive wire around the connector pin to form a plurality of wire loops, the insulated conductive wire including insulation material coating the wire;
- and
- moving one or more of the loops of insulated conductive wire along a length of the pin, thereby causing the one or more edges of the pin to cut through the insulation material and to establish conductive electrical contact with the wire loops.
