ABSTRACT:
A wire terminal assembly includes a wire terminal having a cylindrical heat-shrinkable sleeve extending over one end for receiving solder interposed between the terminal and the heat-shrinkable sleeve. The heat-shrinkable sleeve receives an end of a conductor such that heat can be applied to the junction of the terminal, conductor and sleeve to bond the conductor to the terminal and shrink the sleeve over the junction of the conductor and terminal. This invention also contemplates the process of attaching a wire to a terminal by inserting a heat-shrinkable sleeve over a terminal, inserting solder into the sleeve from an end opposite the terminal to surround the terminal, inserting an end of a conductor into the open end of the sleeve and heating the terminal, solder and sleeve to a temperature which melts the solder and shrinks the sleeve onto the junction of the conductor and terminal.
