Abstract
A probe with a shoulder is used to support a pre-flanged distal end of a catheter placed inside of an adapter. The probe has a minor diameter to engage coaxially the bore of the catheter and a major diameter to carry coaxially the adapter in axial alignment with the catheter. The pre-flanged distal end of the catheter is compressed by the shoulder into the adapter during a dielectric welding operation as the probe is urged axially against the flange of the catheter. A support associated with the probe resists axial movement of the adapter and receives dielectric energy from the probe.
