1. A process for making a terminal-cover assembly for an electrolytic capacitor comprising placing a solvent-resistant gasket adjacent an enlarged end portion of a terminal, placing the resultant assembly in a hole through a molded polyphenylene sulfide cover, said hole terminating in a larger counterbore at one end and a smaller, shallower one at the other end, said gasket being received by said larger counterbore and both ends of said terminal extending beyond the surfaces of said cover, and then subjecting said terminal to resistance heating under pressure whereby the mid-portion of the terminal, which is serrated, is swelled against the cover and plastic locally heated and compressed by this operation flows and substantially fills in said smaller counterbore.
