A pinch type weld gun (10) wherein a shunt (30,28) is fixedly secured at one end thereof to a gun electrode (70,83) and fixedly secured at another end thereof to the gun transformer (12). The shunt (30,28) is formed of a plurality of elongated strips of flexible copper material which are arranged in stacked configuration whereafter the end portions of the stack are electrically welded to fuse the end portions together to form rigid unified end portions. The strips are unsecured intermediate the unified end portions to form a flexible intermediate portion and the unified end portion connected to the transformer is bent into a curvilinear configuration to provide a compact and relaxed routing for the shunt (30,28) between the transformer (12) and the electrode (70,83). <IMAGE> |
