Abstract

See full text

An example assembly includes an electrically conductive member, an electrically conductive mesh, and a crimp connector. The electrically conductive mesh includes a first area and a second area. The second area extends along a second longitudinal axis and is larger than the first area. The first area is twisted and extends from the second area along a first longitudinal axis that is transverse to the second longitudinal axis. One of the electrically conductive member and the twisted first area is twisted around the other of the electrically conductive member and the twisted first area to form a twisted connection. The crimp connector is crimped onto the twisted connection to form a crimped connection. The first area of the electrically conductive mesh, including the crimped connection, is folded onto the second area of the electrically conductive mesh.
