<p>A connector housing (15) having compartments (16) for receiving socket-shaped bodies (12) of contacts (11) are prepared. The housing has slots (17) extending in parallel with the compartments. Further prepared are the socket contacts (11) each having an unfinished lead (13) that continues from the body (12) and has a bent portion (31) adjacent to it and continuing to a straight lead (13') in parallel with the body. Then, the socket-shaped body (12) of each contact (11) will be inserted in compartment (16), with the straight lead (13') being simultaneously inserted in the slot (17), so that the lead's end portion is exposed out of the housing (15) and subsequently bent to form a connectable leg (14) protruding downward from the housing (15), such that the leads are strongly held in the housing and reliably con-nected to a printed circuit board, besides the housing is protected from distortion when molded. <IMAGE></p> |
