ABSTRACT:
A compression connector includes an insulator insert molded with a plurality of contact elements. Each contact element has a terminal portion, a cantilevered portion, and pair of engaging brackets upwardly extending from opposite edges of the terminal portion. Each bracket defines a notch in opposite distal ends thereof and a hole in a central portion thereof. The hole facilitates proper bending of the bracket with regard to the terminal portion during a metal stamping and bending process. The insulator is formed around the brackets and the terminal portions are flush with a bottom surface of the insulator. Plastic molded through the aligned holes and notches strengthens the engagement between the contact elements and the insulator.
