Abstract
Embodiments of a method are provided for joining an aluminum wire to a secondary wire, as are embodiments of an aluminum wire splice connector and embodiments of an electromagnetic coil assembly including an aluminum wire splice connector. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps providing a splice connector having a first blind bore and a second blind bore, inserting a segment of a coiled aluminum magnet wire into the first blind bore, and inserting a segment of the secondary wire into the second blind bore. The splice connector is soldered to the segments of the aluminum wire and the secondary wire inserted into the first and second blind bores, respectively, to electrically couple the coiled aluminum magnet wire and the secondary wire through the splice connector.
