Abstract
An integral holding shell and wire wrap post for spring contacts is disclosed wherein the unitary product is formed by metal drawing operations instead of by separate machining and crimping operations previously carried out to connect the post to the holding shell. The product is gas-tight for a positive seal when used in vacuum test fixtures. Mechanical connections between the wire wrap post holding shell are eliminated, making the product more electrically sound. Manufacturing cost is reduced.
