Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electrical connector includes the following steps. (a) Forming a number of insert plates and integrally fixing a plurality of conductive pins to the insert plates so as to form the same number of unitary components., (b) Inserting mounting sections of the pins into corresponding holes defined in a spacer component by component. (c) Fitting the insert plates into a slot defined in an insulator. (d) Mounting a shielding shell to the insulator to shield the conductive pins. The method may further include a step of bending the mounting sections of the pins an angle of 90 degrees before the mounting sections are fit into the holes on the spacer and a step of securing the shielding shell to the insulator by means of fasteners.
