ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR RECEPTACLE AND METHOD OF MAKING A STRIP OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR RECEPTACLES

摘要

In the manufacture of electrical connector receptacles (2) each comprising an insulating housing (30) having a plug receiving opening (16) across which extend contact spring portions (38) of electrical conductors (36), a stamped continuous metal strip (60) provided with group blanks (36 min ) for forming the conductors (36), is fed, after forming the conductors (36), into an injection moulding apparatus (102) in which a housing (30) is moulded so as to anclose intermediate portions (44) of each group of formed conductors (36), the conductors (36) of each group being subsequently severed from the strip (60).
