MULTIPLE-SHOT INJECTION MOLD ASSEMBLY AND A COMPONENT HAVING A RETENTION RIB MADE THEREWITH

摘要

A mold assembly having a first mold portion with a first cavity having a retention groove. A second mold portion associated with the first mold portion and configured to come together therewith. The second mold portion has a second cavity. The second cavity and the first cavity form a first substrate compartment. A third mold portion is associated with the first mold portion and configured to come together therewith. The third mold portion has a third cavity having a shut-off member. The third cavity and the first cavity form a first over-mold compartment when the first and third mold portions come together. The shut-off member projects from the third cavity surface to impinge on a surface of a component formed by the first substrate compartment. The first retention groove mirrors the shut-off member and is aligned therewith when the first and third cavities form the first over-mold compartment.
