Zusammenfassung:An electrical contact 10 for an electrical connector includes a sleeve 20 and a plurality of axially- aligned fine wires 30 each having an acutely angled end portion 32 at one end and secured together at the other end by welding to form a bundle 40. Preferably, the wires are secured together by a weld 50 formed by a capacitor discharging across a gap to the wires. The bundle 40 of wires are inserted into the sleeve of the contact 10 with the angled ends 32 forward and the weld 50 rearward. The sleeve is crimped to form a portion 25 forward of, or including, the weld 50, to secure the bundle 40 within the sleeve.
