Abstract
An assembly includes a plug at least partially disposed in a cavity of a connector at a front end of the connector. The plug ultrasonically welded to the connector in a configuration. The plug includes an inset portion and a recess formed within the inset portion. The inset portion extends axially into a body of the plug. The recess has a first closed surface forming an outer surface and configured to engage with a tool for aligning the plug with the cavity. The plug encloses the cavity with a second closed surface, such that the cavity is free from receiving a terminal or an electrical wire in the configuration.
