An access port assembly having an ultrasonic weld energy director and method of assembling the access port utilizing the energy director. The access port may include a dual chamber port base and a port top for securing two septa on the base. An energy director may be positioned on the top end of the port base and a corresponding flat may be provided on the underside of the port top for receiving the energy director. Once the port top is aligned on top of the port based with the septa positioned in-between, far field welding may be implemented to connect the port top to the port base. The access port assembly may be further configured such that when the components are assembled for welding, the weld area is confined from air surrounding the port assembly.
