ABSTRACT:
A contact assembly for a modular receptacle includes an array of substantially coplanar contacts which are held in position by first and second insulators. The contacts are exposed between the two insulators, and a latch mechanism holds the two insulators in the desired transversely oriented relationship with respect to one another. This contact assembly can be formed by insert molding the insulators around the contacts in a substantially coplanar configuration, and then bending the exposed central portions of the contacts to latch the two insulators into the final transverse orientation.
