<p>The present invention relates to a method of automatically assembling and mounting contacts in plug-type connectors, with the plug-type connector consisting of a housing and a strip made of insulating material, which strip can be joined with the housing and which supports the contacts. In addition, the present invention relates to connectors produced according to the method. With prior art connectors of this general type, the contacts have been embedded in the insulating strip in a heat treatment process, e.g., by thermoplastic coating or with an ultrasonic welding technique. The heat treatment processes which can be used are relatiaely expensive and can be executed only with the aid of costly machinery, requires much time, and contacts are coated with a plastic film at least at contact sections protruding from the insulating strip, which means that the contacts must subsequently be cleaned. The present invention overcomes these disadvantages by providing a web material as a band-like strip of insulating material into which the contacts are mechanically embedded. The housing is joined with the strip of insulating material and sections of a desired length are separated from the band-like insulating strip only during the final assembly stage in which said insulating strip is joined with said housing.</p> |
