See full text

A system and method for terminating a wire having an aluminum conductor includes a terminal having a conductor receiving area adapted to receive the aluminum conductor, and a welding buffer sized and shaped to fit within the conductor receiving area of the terminal with the aluminum conductor disposed between the welding buffer and the terminal. The terminal, the welding buffer and the aluminum conductor are ultrasonically welded together to form an integrated unit, such that the welding buffer forms a part of a finished terminated wire assembly.
