ABSTRACT:
An improved method of ultrasonically welding together two conductors having differing lateral dimensions comprising selecting a welding capture fixture having lateral sides spaced apart by a distance substantially equal to the lateral dimension of a first conductor having the greatest lateral dimension. The first conductor is placed in the selected fixture so that the first conductor is proximate to or substantially engages both lateral sides of the fixture. The second conductor is formed so that at least a first portion extends laterally beyond a second portion. The second conductor is placed into the select fixture so that the first portion is proximate to or substantially engages one of the lateral sides of the fixture and the second portion is proximate to or substantially engages the other lateral side of the fixture with both portions substantially engaging the first conductor. Ultrasonic energy is applied to one of the conductors within the fixture for moving the one conductor with respect to the other conductor for welding the conductors together. In a preferred embodiment, one of the conductors is an electrical lead of a sensing element and the other conductor is a multi-stranded extension wire.
