ABSTRACT:
An electrical assembly comprises an electrical connector and an electrical device such as a sensor that are connected directly to each other. The electrical connector has a one-piece connector body of moldable, thermoplastic electrically insulative material that has a socket at one end for receiving a mating electrical connector, and a platform at the other end supporting the electrical device. One-piece terminals are insert molded in the connector body so that the insert molded terminals have exposed contacts at one end that project into the socket and exposed contacts at the other end that project outwardly of the platform. The electrical device is fastened to the platform mechanically and has prongs that engage the exposed contacts at the other end of the insert molded terminals. The electrical assembly may also include a second electrical device such as a diode that is fastened to the front of the platform and electrically connected to the exposed contacts of the insert molded terminals.
