The present invention is a method for manufacturing an electrical connector comprising an insulative housing (40) with a base side (42) and an opposed side (44) and lateral sides (46, 48, 50, 52) interposed between said base side (42) and said opposed side (44) and at least one conductive contact (94) extending from the base side of the insulation in a first leg (96) and then laterally adjacent the top side of the housing (40) in a second leg (100). In this method there is provided a mold (74) comprising a first die (80) and an opposed second die all defining an interior cavity and an exterior area. A molding compound input port (92) extends between the exterior area and the interior cvaity and a contact receiving aperture (92) extending through the first die (80) from the exterior area to the interior cavity. The conductive contact is then positioned so that the first leg extends upwardly from the exterior area through the contact receiving aperture into the interior cavity. The first leg (96) extends through said interior cavity, and the second leg (100) extends laterally adjacent the opposed die (76). The interior cavity of the mold (74) is then filled with a polymeric molding compound, and force is applied on the second leg (100) to cause the second leg (100) of the contact to bear against the second die. <IMAGE> |
