MULTI CONTACT CONNECTOR HAVING GROUND TERMINAL BLOCK AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

MULTI CONTACT CONNECTOR HAVING GROUND TERMINAL BLOCK AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME A multi contact connector comprises a ground terminal block having branched connections, and a connector portion having plurality of contacts. The branched connections of the ground terminal block are connected to some of the contacts of the connector portion to be grounded. A method of manufacturing a multi contact connector comprises steps of producing a ground terminal block having branched connections to be connected to contacts to be grounded in accordance with requirement of a circuit to be connected, and connecting the branched connections with distal ends of the contacts of a connector portion separately produced. In process of producing the ground terminal block, a ground terminal block having branched connections at different locations according to requirement of a circuit to be connected is produced every time when the contacts to be grounded are changed, or a ground terminal block having a great number of branched connections commonly formed for requirement of various circuits is produced and then unnecessary branched connections are removed to form a ground terminal block having the branched connections only required for requirement of a specific circuit to be connected.
