ELECTRICAL CONTACT ASSEMBLY

摘要

An electrical contact (47) includes a tubular liner (1) stamped and rolled from a sheet of an electrically conductive material with an annular connector retention recess (13) provided in the external surface thereof between a mating end and a wire receiving end. One or more sleeves (21, 27) are telescoped over the liner (1) with at least one sleeve deformed in place into the annular recess (13). One of the sleeves (21) can be axially aligned preparatory to deforming it into the recess by an internal projection (25) which engages an annular groove (19) on the liner (1). A second sleeve can be axially aligned by lancing it to the liner (1) and by prick-punching the sleeve.
