Abstract
A methodology for applying ultrasonic welding processes to insulation jacketed wires without firstly stripping them. A preferred acronym therefor is “UWTI” (Ultrasonic Welding Through Insulation). A wire with its insulation jacket thereon and intact is placed upon a top surface of a base of a terminal to which it is to be bonded and the staking wings of the terminal are staked down onto the wire. The operator places the insulation jacketed wire and terminal combination into a conventional ultrasonic welder, such that the a bottom surface of the base rests upon the anvil and the insulation jacketed wire is aligned with the tip. The operator then causes the sonic welder to automatically sequence so as to provide an ultrasonic weld of the wire to the terminal.
