1. An assembly configured for an aerosol provision system, the assembly comprising a body defining an aperture, and an electrode comprising a portion within the aperture, the assembly further comprising a lead comprising a section which is secured inside the aperture, and between the body and the portion of the electrode, by a first interference fit between the body and the portion of the electrode;
wherein the aperture comprises a first open end and a second open end, wherein the electrode extends through the first open end, and the lead extends through the second open end; and
wherein the electrode plugs the first open end by a second interference fit between the body and the portion of the electrode, which prevents the lead from extending out of the aperture through the first end of the aperture.
