A method of manufacturing a jaw member for use with a jaw assembly includes the step of: providing a jaw housing, an electrically conductive plate and an insulated wire for conducting a first electrical potential. The method also includes the step of: molding a first plastic onto a surface of the jaw housing such that the plastic forms a datum for receiving the electrically conductive plate and forms an elongated slot therein for receiving the insulated wire therealong. The method also includes the steps of: engaging a lead end of the wire with the electrically conductive plate such that the first electrical potential is conducted to the electrically conductive plate; aligning the electrically conductive plate atop the jaw housing and within the plastic datum such that the insulated wire aligns within the elongated slot; and molding a second plastic to secure the electrically conductive plate and the insulated wire atop the jaw housing.
