  • Insert molded electrical connector and method for producing same
    Patent number: 6010370
    Abstract: An electrical connector component has a body portion and a plurality of conductive terminals disposed within the connector body portion. The terminals are arranged at regular intervals and partially embedded in at least one sidewall of the connector body portion during the process of insert-molding the connector component. Each terminal includes a contact portion and a solder tail portion which extends out of the body portion. The contact and engagement portions are retained in place on the connector body portion by virtue of being partially embedded in the body portion, thus preventing movement or deformation of the contact portion in the connector body portion because of forces applied thereto during molding.
