ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly (10) and method of making wherein the connector does not require a separate contact but comprises end strands (52) of a multistranded electrical conductor (wire 50). The strands (52) are formed into a loop (56) having overlapping portions (57) and the overlapping portions are secured together by a weld. The forward portion of the strands (52) are straightened into axial alignment and the ends (53) of each strand cut and provided with angled end surfaces (54). The conductor (wire) so prepared is inserted into a molded housing (20) having two mating halves (30, 40), at least one of which is provided with a channel (33) including a loop cavity (62) and a projection (60). The loop (56) of the conductor is mounted over the projection and the two connector halves secured together to complete the connector assembly.
