ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a housing of electrically insulative material and defining an interior compartment and passages extending from the interior compartment to an exterior surface of the housing. Electrical contact members are resident in the housing passages. At least one of the passages is circular in configuration and a power contact member resident in the one passage has a portion resident in the one passage circular in configuration and in press-fit sealed relation with the housing. The contact member resident in the one passage has a further portion resident in the interior compartment of blade-shaped configuration. A method of making the connector includes a step of press-fitting the power contact member into the one passage from the interior compartment with the contact member circular portion leading the contact member blade portion, such that the circular portion is in interference fit in the one passage and that the blade portion is resident in the interior compartment.
