Wire connector assembly and method of forming same

The present invention provides for a wire plug connector assembly where the individual wires are connectorized by forming a housing around the wires and capturing the terminal metallic potion of the wire by a ferrule which is received within an aperture of a receptacle for providing an electrical connection to a contact mounted therein. The plug may be formed of housing halves which are ultrasonically bonded to each other in order to capture the wires therein. The receptacle includes apertures with contacts which are enclosed at the rear face by hinged flaps in order to seal the rear face of the receptacle.
