  • Publication number: 20250023280
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a connector comprises providing a housing and a contact intermediate product, making the holding portion of the housing hold a held portion of the contact intermediate product to attach the contact intermediate product to the housing, and inserting a jig between a contact point and the held portion to deform the contact intermediate product plastically and thereby forming a contact. The contact intermediate product does not enter an allowing portion in a state where it is attached to the housing. After the plastically deformation, a tip portion is situated in the allowing portion, and it is hidden by a movement suppression portion at least in part when viewed along an up-down direction.
