Zusammenfassung:An electrical contact for an electrical connector including a sleeve and a plurality of axially-aligned fine wires, with each wire having an acutely angled end portion at one end thereof and with the plurality of wires secured together at the other end to form a bundle. Preferably, the wires are secured together by a weld formed by a capacitor discharging across a gap to the wires, although other securing methods could be used. The bundle of wires then may be inserted into the sleeve of the contact with the angled ends forward in the sleeve and the weld rearward in the sleeve. The sleeve then is crimped inwardly forward of, or including, the welded portion, to hold the bundle in place within the sleeve.
