ABSTRACT:
A combination of a bending mandrel (29), an anvil (15) and an electrical connector(1). The bending mandrel (29) of this combination has a bending face (35) and the anvil (15) of this combination has a curved bending face (18). The electrical connector (1) of the combination has a housing (2) of electrically insulating material with a connection side (13), a connection pin output side (11) and a contact side (8) and is provided with a number of contact elements (6) of electrically conducting material accommodated in channels (5). Each contact elements has a contact end (7) situated at the contact side (8) of the housing (2), for contacting a further connector. They each also have a connection end provided with an L-shaped connection pin (9). These pins each have a fixed leg (10) fixed to the connection end of the contact element (6) extending from the connection pin output side (11) of the housing (2) lying opposite the contact side (8), a bend and a free leg (12) for mounting on a printed circuit board substantially perpendicular to the fixed leg (10). The outward facing bending face (18) of the bending anvil and the bending face (35) of the mandrel complement each other in shape and interact to bend the connection pins (9) of the connector into a generally L-shaped configuration.
