ABSTRACT:
A continuous strip of spaced-apart electrical contacts is taught. Briefly stated, a mold structure is utilized to position a plurality of contacts in a mold. A polymeric material such as silicone is thereafter injected into the mold which fills the interior portion of the contact as well as encapsulating the exterior upper portion of the contact, thereby producing a strip of spaced-apart electrical contacts having a molded carrier strip of flexible polymeric material. A series of notches or recesses are formed in the walls of the strip which thereby allows for precise indexing and contact spacing for insertion of the contact strip into a circuit board. The polymeric material which is disposed on the interior of the contact prohibits the introduction of contaminants into the interior of the contact as well as providing a reenterable aperture for placing electrical components having terminal leads.
