Abstract
An integral bonding attachment includes an insulated section of a conductive wire with an exposed, uninsulated section. A sleeve covers the insulated and uninsulated sections of the conductive wire, and the sleeve includes a flattened section encasing at least a portion of the uninsulated wire section to form a generally integral structure with the core of the conductive wire. At least one generally tubular section is positioned at an end of the flattened section to engage the insulated section of the conductive wire. An aperture may pass simultaneously through the inner core and flattened sleeve section for attaching the integral bonding attachment to a structure.
Claims14
An electrical attachment comprising:
- a conductive wire having an insulated section and an uninsulated section of the wire adjacent the insulated section at an interface area;
- a conductive sleeve covering the insulated and uninsulated sections of the conductive wire at the interface area;
- the conductive sleeve including a flattened conductive section of the sleeve formed proximate the interface area, the flattened conductive section encasing and flattening at least a portion of the uninsulated section of the conductive wire and forming a generally integral conductive structure at an electrical attachment point for improving the electrical and impedance characteristics of the electrical attachment
- an inner seal positioned over the conductive wire proximate the interface area, the flattened conductive section capturing at least a portion of the inner seal at the interface area.
