Summary:An electrical connector assembly (100) includes an electrical terminal (102) having a connection portion (104) and an attachment portion (106) angled relative to the connection portion (104). The assembly (100) also includes a cylindrical inner housing sleeve (110) formed of a polymeric material in which the connection portion (104) of the electrical terminal (102) is disposed and an outer connector housing (112) formed of a polymeric material having a smooth bore (114) configured to receive the inner housing sleeve (110) containing the electrical terminal (102). The inner housing sleeve (110) and bore (114) are sized such that the inner housing sleeve (110) is in an interference fit condition when received within the bore (114). The electrical connector assembly (100) is assembled by a process having the steps of inserting the inner housing sleeve (110) within the bore (114) of the outer connector housing (112) and affixing the inner housing sleeve (110) to the outer connector housing (112) by welding the inner housing sleeve (110) to the outer connector housing (112).
