Abstract
A termination for high-current electrical apparatus comprises a lead in the form of an elongated strip of relatively soft aluminum, a terminal in the form of a plate of relatively hard aluminum-base alloy, and a butt weld between the edges of the strip and the plate comprising a fillet of aluminum alloy extending across the width of the terminal. A plurality of holes in the lead adjacent the butt weld serve to weaken the lead sufficiently so that the lead in the region of the holes is more susceptible to deformation than the weld as a result of bending forces applied to the termination through the terminal.
