An electrical wire (100) includes a bundle of electrical conductors (102) that has an end segment (110) that extends to an end (108) of the bundle. Each electrical conductor in the bundle engages at least one other electrical conductor. The electrical wire also includes conductive particles (106) disposed between and engaging at least some of the electrical conductors in the bundle along the end segment. The conductive particles are configured to provide an electrical connection between the corresponding electrical conductors engaged by the conductive particles.
