Connector, LED unit, and method for producing connector

摘要

A connector includes: one terminal having a part-connecting portion to be connected to an anode of an LED; and the other terminal having the part-connecting portion to be connected to a cathode of the LED; and a housing in which the terminals are embedded. The connector is made by insert-molding. The terminals are arranged in a cavity formed between upper and lower dies so that the part-connecting portions are arranged in the same plane with a gap. An outer shape of the cavity corresponds to an outer shape of the connector. After a projection formed on the upper die is interposed between the part-connecting portions, the cavity is filled with melted synthetic resin to mold the housing.
