Abstract
A method for litz wire termination includes placing a ferrule over exposed conductors on an end of litz wire. The exposed conductors include a portion of the litz wire without an external insulation layer, and a portion at the end of the litz wire protrude past the ferrule. The method includes crimping the ferrule to the litz wire and placing the end of the litz wire with the ferrule in molten solder past the end of the ferrule. The method includes maintaining the litz wire in the molten solder until insulation on conductors of the litz wire is removed from the conductors in the molten solder and solder bonds to the conductors that are within in the molten solder. The method includes removing the litz wire from the molten solder and allowing the litz wire to cool until molten solder bonded to the conductors transitions to a solid state.
