Abstract

An electrical contact is mounted in the insulated body portion and is locked therein between a pair of shoulders by a flexible tube. An electrical connector has an insulator body portion which can be extended through an opening of a housing and is then upset by ultrasonic welding to lock it to the enclosure. Electrical leads are inserted through the electrical contact and are connected to it by crimping and/or welding to provide an electrical connection.
