ABSTRACT:
Die cast zinc terminals having ribs and recesses therebetween are partially inserted into the cap bores. An electrical heated head member engages and heats the terminals and temporarily converts the cap material into a flowable state to enable full insertion of the terminals into the cap bores. The cap material moves into the terminal recesses to anchor the terminals in the cap. The terminals are provided with vent slots that vent the interior of the cap to an area adjacent a terminal located at the exterior of the cap. The purpose of the vent slots is to relieve any air pressure that may be caused by air being trapped within a connector boot when a female connector and boot are fitted to a terminal.
