Multiple bussed terminations
A multiple bussed termination for connecting a plurality of wires comprises a plurality of splices each having a base and a region for holding some of the plurality of wires. The splices are connected to each other by a conductive strip extending from the base of a first splice of the plurality of splices to a remainder of the plurality of splices. The splices are each capable of being crimped to some of the plurality of wires.
1. A multiple bussed termination for connecting a plurality of conductors each having a plurality of wires, comprising:
a plurality of splices each having a base and a region for holding the plurality of wires of at least two of the conductors, the splices are connected to each other by a conductive strip extending from the base of a first splice of the plurality of splices to a remainder of the plurality of splices.
2. The multiple bussed termination of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the splices is a serrated crimp.
3. The multiple bussed termination of claim 2 , wherein the serrated crimp has an end feed carrier or a side feed carrier at a front end.
4. The multiple bussed termination of claim 3 , wherein the region for holding the wires has a pair of opposing side walls extending from the base.
5. The multiple bussed termination of claim 4 , wherein an inner surface of the region for holding the wires has a plurality of serrations extending from a first wall to an opposite second wall.
6. The multiple bussed termination of claim 5 , wherein the inner surface of the region has at least three serrations.
7. The multiple bussed termination of claim 6 , wherein the inner surface of the region has at least nine serrations.
8. The multiple bussed termination of claim 2 , wherein each of the splices is a serrated crimp.
9. The multiple bussed termination of claim 2 , wherein ends of each of a pair of opposing side walls of the serrated crimp are adapted to engage one another along a completely closed seam.
10. The multiple bussed termination of claim 2 , wherein ends of each of a pair of opposing side walls of the serrated crimp are adapted to engage one another with a rear end of the crimp having a taper at an upper side and a lower side of the rear end.
11. The multiple bussed termination of claim 10 , wherein the rear end has a bell mouth shape.
12. The multiple bussed termination of claim 1 , wherein a base material of each of the splices is an alloy of copper and steel.
13. The multiple bussed termination of claim 1 , wherein the termination is plated.
14. The multiple bussed termination of claim 1 , wherein the wires are magnetic and/or stranded lead wires.
