Abstract
A power socket includes a power socket body extending between a first end and a second end and having a tube being tubular shaped along at least a portion of the power socket body. The power socket includes a power pin termination at the first end and a cable termination at the second end. The power pin termination includes a socket configured to receive a mating end of a power pin and a spring band contact received in the socket having a plurality of mating interfaces. A first edge of the power socket body is rolled inward to form a retaining lip to retain the spring band contact in the socket. The cable termination includes a deformation terminated to an end of a cable conductor of a cable to electrically connect the power socket to the cable. The deformation transforms the tube from a tubular to a deformed shape.
