Abstract
A multi-stranded electrical conducting wire has conducting strands surrounded by an insulative jacket. The strands have serrations around the circumference thereof to inhibit slipping movement between adjacent strands. This is particularly advantageous when used with IDC contacts whereby the reduced slipping increases the contact pressure and therefore electrical conductivity of the connection, in particular for connections subject to vibration or thermal contraction and expansion movements.
