ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method for manufacturing an electrical connector comprising an insulative housing with a base side and an opposed side and lateral sides interposed between said base side and said opposed side and at least one conductive contact including a first leg that extends from the base side of the insulative housing, the at least one conductive contact further including a second leg extending laterally adjacent the top side of the housing. In this method there is provided a mold comprising a first die and an opposed second die all defining an interior cavity and an exterior area. A molding compound input port extends between the exterior area and the interior cavity. The conductive contact is then positioned in the interior cavity such that the second leg extends adjacent the second die along an entirety of a length of the second die between first and second bent ends. The interior cavity of the mold is then filled with a polymeric molding compound, and during at least a portion of the filling step, the second die is maintained in contact with the second leg along the entirety of the length.
