<p>The method is particularly intended for the manufacture of an electrical connector housing mounting connector elements to be engaged by corresponding contacts of an integrated circuit device. The method includes the steps of providing a block (14) made of an appropriate metarial such as a polyamide. The block provided has a relatively thin wall (32) (around 3.8 mm) which is defined by two oppositely facing surfaces (34, 34'). A trough (40), generally conforming in size and shape to the size and shape of the contact array of the integrated circuit, is formed in at least one of the two oppositely facing, spaced surfaces defining the wall. Such a trough is intended to receive a connector element support. In manufacturing the housing for mounting the connector elements, each trough is filled with a rod (46), generally conforming in cross-section to a cross-section of the trough. The rod can be made of the same material as the block. With the rod or rods received within their corresponding troughs, a plurality of generally parallel slots (36) are laser machined in the block. The slots are positioned to intersect, and be closely spaced along, each trough. <IMAGE></p> |
