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