Method and apparatus of bonding insulated and coated wire

摘要

A method of bonding an insulated and coated wire which has an insulated coating on the outside of an electrically conductive wire is disclosed which consists in connecting one end of said insulated and coated wire to the anode side of an arc power source and connecting a discharge torch to the cathode side of said arc power source with an arc discharge performed between the tip of said insulated and coated wire and the discharge torch to form a ball at said end, and said ball being positioned with respect to the bonding pad of an electrically conductive electrode and bonding being performed with a specified pressure applied to said ball.
