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. The strip is advanced such that a portion remains in the mold. The mold is then refilled with additional contacts, and the material is again injected to encapsulate the additional contacts as well as to secure this strip to the previous strip.
