ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit includes a first lead frame and a second lead frame that extend from an overmolded circuit assembly. Each of the lead frames includes a piercing portion to pierce through insulation on a corresponding electrical conduit. The piercing portion of the lead frames also provides a wrap around feature to mechanically secure the wire to the corresponding electrical conduit. In this manner, several processes can be eliminated and are not required for the desired mechanical and electrical connection of the integrated circuit lead frame to corresponding electrical conductors.
