A process for manufacturing a connector that attains increasing of connector production speed and reduces wasting of contacts. Socket (10) of connector (1) is formed through two separate steps consisting of a primary molding step and a secondary molding step. In the primary molding step, socket body base part (12) and resin carrier (25) are integrally molded. Socket contact (30) can be disposed at desired position of the socket body base part (12) by assembling metal carrier (35) with the socket contact (30) coupled thereto into the resin carrier (25). Subsequently, the assembled member is set in secondary molding metal mold (70), and insert molding is carried out. As it is not needed to directly dispose the socket contact (30) in the secondary molding metal mold (70), there can be attained enhancement of working efficiency and increasing of connector production speed. Further, as it is not needed to discard part of the socket contact (30) as different from the prior art, the problem of contact wasting can be solved. |
