ABSTRACT:
A wound wire terminal assembly for replacing spade terminals in joining wires, particularly in air conditioning compressor and fan motor relays. The wound wire terminal assembly includes a primary wire connector constructed of wound wire for receiving a male spade terminal connected to a first wire or the first wire itself, and a screw threaded into the primary wire connector and engaging the male spade terminal or the first wire to secure the male spade terminal or first wire in the primary wire connector of the wound wire terminal assembly. The primary wire connector is typically wound on a primary mandrel shaped in the configuration of a cylinder and is connected to a typically smaller, cylindrical, mandrel-wound secondary wire connector that receives a second wire by soldered connection. In a preferred embodiment the wound wire terminal assembly is constructed from a single length of copper wire which is first wound around a primary winding mandrel of selected diameter and subsequently reverse-wound around a secondary winding mandrel of smaller diameter, after which the extending segment or segments of the wire are cut and the assembly is dipped into solder to preserve the structural integrity of the respective coils and enhance conductivity.
