An electrical connector assembly includes a sleeve having an upper wall, a
base wall, and opposing side walls. The upper wall, the base wall, and
the opposing side walls define an opening and an interior within the
sleeve. The upper wall defines first and second resilient spring webs.
The base wall includes a resilient bridge web having a first mating
structure formed therein. A pin is configured for insertion through the
opening of the sleeve and into the interior such that insertion of the
pin causes flexing of the bridge web and the first and second spring
webs. The pin has a second mating structure for engaging with the first
mating structure of the bridge web to secure the pin relative to the
sleeve. The connecting portions of the first and second spring webs form
a joint which is welded to connect the connecting portions of the first
and second spring webs.
