Abstract
A pig tail is attached to an oxygen sensor by a sealed electrical connector having four terminals welded to respective contacts of the four way oxygen sensor post terminal. The electrical connector includes a welding fixture-connector body of dielectric material which prearranges the terminals for assembly to the post terminal as a unit. After assembly, the body serves as a welding fixture and for this purpose has diametrically opposed windows which provide access for the welding electrodes. The connector is sealed by a seal boot which is carried by a grommet which slides on the pig tail leads.
