Abstract

See full text

An apparatus, system and method for inserting a contact having an insert portion, a textured portion and a head portion, into a surface of a molded shell made of plastic or other similar material. An opening is provided in a portion of the molded shell that is smaller in size than the contact and the contact is aligned into the opening. Energy, such as heat energy, ultrasonic energy, and/or infrared energy may be applied to the contact at one or more predetermined energy levels sufficient to cause the substrate to at least begin melting, and a force may be applied to the heated contact to push the heated contact into the substrate such that the plastic material forms a seal around the textured portion.
