  • Electrical connector and manufacturing method thereof
    Patent number: 7980895
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electrical contact module is provided. First, a lead-frame of electrical conductors is formed, wherein at least one supporting strip is formed in the lead-frame of electrical conductors in such a way as to maintain the electrical conductors in a predetermined position with respect to each other. Then, the lead-frame of electrical conductors is over-molded with a first dielectric material, thereby obtaining a first over-molded lead-frame. At least one aperture is formed in the first over-molded lead-frame so that the at least one supporting strip is accessible. The at least one supporting strip in the first over-molded lead-frame is removed after completion of the over-molding step. A second dielectric material is then over-molded with the first over-molded lead-frame in such manner as to fill the at least one aperture and a space left between the electrical conductors after removal of the at least one supporting strip.
