A method of connecting stranded wire to a lead-frame bodyincludes the provision of a stranded wireIt is ensured that insulation is stripped from an endof the stranded wire. An electrically conductive lead-frame connection structureis associated with the lead-frame body. The endof the stranded wire is inserted into the lead-frame connection structureso that the lead-frame connection structure substantially surrounds the wire end. Solder flux is injected so as to be substantially about a portion of the end of the stranded wire. The lead-frame connection structure is placed in contact with a bottom resistance welding electrodeor a top resistance welding electrodeThe electrode that is not presently in contact with the lead-frame connection structure is moved so as to contact the lead-frame connection structure to resistance weld the wire endto the lead-frame connection structureand thereby define a solder crimp connectionof the wire end and the lead-frame connection structure.
