ABSTRACT:
A method for making an electrical connector (10,170) formed by molding a plastic septum (50) transversely across an axially extending connector cavity (22) defined between the axial connector walls about the array of contacts (60) extending axially within the cavity (22) from one connector face to another. The contact sections (62) extending from the connector are initially straight prior to molding and are then subjected to a forming step to define right angles for example, with portions (66) of the contacts (60) embedded with the plastic septum (50) being of irregular cross-section to establish resistance to the stresses of such forming and maintain the sealed nature of the connector (10). The connector may comprise an integrally molded plastic housing (174) or a metal shell (20) with the plastic septum (50) molded therewithin such as about an inner flange (34) for sealing and retention.
