Abstract
A method attaches a center conductor to one or both of a load end conductor and a line end conductor. The center conductor has two cylindrical projections. The load end conductor and the line end conductor both have a non-circular opening, such as a square opening. One of the cylindrical projections of the center conductor is passed through the non-circular opening of the load end conductor. The cylindrical projection of the center conductor is deformed, in order to attach the center conductor and the load end conductor together. The other of the cylindrical projections of the center conductor is passed through the non-circular opening of the line end conductor. The load and line end conductors are aligned and the other cylindrical projection of the center conductor is deformed, in order to attach the center conductor and the line end conductor together.
