Abstract
A component, preferably with a large mass like an electro-mechanical solenoid (101), includes a lead structure (109) to electrically terminate a winding (105) of the solenoid (101). The lead structure (109) is both rigid and flexible. The rigid portion of the lead structure includes an elongated first member (111 ) with a first inner end (113) connected to the winding (105) of the solenoid (101) and a first outer end (115). The flexible portion of the lead structure includes an elongated electrically conductive member (117) with a second inner end (119) connected to the winding (105) of the solenoid (101) and a second outer end (121). The second outer end (121) of the elongated electrically conductive member (117) is coupled to the first outer end (115) of the elongated first member (111). Preferably, the elongated electrically conductive member (117) has a cross-section smaller than a cross-section of the elongated first member (111).
