Electrical wire for making connections to batteries and similar applications on vehicles, comprises bundled strands of which only some have coating of electrically conducting material such as tin

摘要

The spade connector (2) has a crimped portion (19) with an internal electrically conducting layer (25) which encloses bundled conductor strands (7). Alternate layers of the strands are individually covered with electrically conducting coating (27). The electrically conducting material is typically tin which on crimping prevents the ingress of air and/or water and retards corrosion Independent claims are also included for the following : 1) Electrical connector which uses the conductor which has only some strands coated with an electrically conducting material such as tin 2) Vehicle which uses the conductor which has only some strands coated with an electrically conducting material such as tin
