Abstract
The cutting or crushing of electrical wire during a tang termination process is avoided by the method that includes the steps of providing a post (28) of a thermoplastic material in adjacency to a terminal mounting structure (22, 24) wrapping an electrical conductor (34, 40) forming part of the winding (20) around the post (28), mounting a metal terminal (42) having a tang (52) on the mounting structure (22, 24) so that the tang (52) extends at least partially about the post (28), and closing the tang (52) about the post (28) with sufficient heat to destroy the insulation, if any, on the electrical conductor and establish a fused electrical connection between the tang (52) and/or terminal (42) and the conductor (34, 40).
