Connector and electrical component assembly

Claim 1

An electrical connector-wire assembly, comprising: a. a circular cross-section solid metal wire lead having a free end and having an electrical component at the other end thereof, b. a connector-wire unit formed from an ordinary length of circular solid wire and including an elongated section of circular cross-section metal conductor wire having approximately the same diameter as the solid wire lead, c. a flat end connector section integrally formed from one end of the connector-wire, d. the flat end connector section having a width and a length greater than the diameter of the conductor wire and a thickness substantially less than the wire diameter, e. the central portion of the flat end connector section having a circular opening through which the free end of the solid metal wire lead is received, f. the cross-sectional size of the circular opening in the flat end connector section being greater than the solid metal wire lead diameter to provide an annular peripheral clearance space having a width of from two to five thousandths of an inch, g. the free end of the end connector section being bent back on the wire lead to reduce the effective size of the opening in the end connector section and to press its periphery into biting engagement with the lead to provide both a rigid mechanical connection and an electrical contact between the wire lead and the connector wire unit.
