Abstract
A method for attaching an electric conductor to an electrically conductive terminal. The electric conductor has a wire and a cladding surrounding the wire. The wire has an exposed end portion extending from an end of the cladding. The method includes placing a sleeve over the electric conductor. The sleeve is an electrically insulative material. The method further includes positioning the exposed end portion of the wire adjacent the terminal, securing the exposed end portion of the wire to a first portion of the terminal in a manner so that the exposed end portion of the wire is mechanically secured to and electrically coupled to the terminal, moving the sleeve along the electric conductor to a position in which a portion of the sleeve is adjacent the terminal, and securing the sleeve to a second portion of the terminal in a manner so that the sleeve is mechanically secured to the terminal.
