ABSTRACT:
A connector socket terminal structure of the integrated wire termination system (IWTS) type is disclosed for accepting wires with complemental mating pins, and is especially suitable for use in environmentally sealed aircraft switches. A retainer is disposed in a hollow terminal and serves to lock the wire termination pin in place in the terminal and ensure good electrical contact. The retainer is integrally bonded in the terminal by a tin reflow process. The terminal is plated with silver, and the retainer with tin. The retainer is inserted into the terminal and the assembly is immersed in a hot oil bath to melt the tin, the oil preventing the formation of oxides on the tin and silver surfaces and also reducing surface tension of the tin to facilitate good tin flow. Upon cooling, a good electrical and mechanical bond is formed between the tin on the retainer and the silver on the terminal. A wire termination pin may then be inserted into the terminal, to be locked therein by the retainer.
