Abstract

See full text

A flexible electrical connector is attached to a movable contact finger and a stationary termianl by placing the components in a work chamber and positioning a first end of the flexible connector against an attachment surface of the contact finger, preferably in a perpendicular orientation. After evacuating the work chamber, the output of an electron gun is directed toward a joint formed between the flexible connector and the contact finger. The electron beam forms a weld zone which fuses the the flexible connector with the contact finger without degrading the flexibility of the connector or the mechanical strength of the contact finger. A second end of the flexible connector is positioned against an attachment surface of the stationary terminal, such as in a parallel orientation, and attached in a similar manner.
