Abstract: In a rear holder-attached connector (1), a relatively-thick protective rib (10) with a width (B) projects outwardly from opposite sides of a housing (2), and is disposed between upper and lower terminal receiving chambers (3).

After molding the connector housing and a retainer, the retainer is assembled from a side opposite the side where the installation hole forming pin is extracted for the retainer installation hole. Thus, since interference of the retainer installation hole with the retainer is avoided, a mold construction can be simplified. Further, since the direction of motion of the respective parts of a mold apparatus are only in biaxial directions of up and down and transverse (X,Y axis directions), the molding spaces of a plurality of connectors can be provided in the mold apparatus along a third axis direction (fore and aft direction, namely Z axis direction) in a line.

Abstract: Hydrophobic polymer surfaces whose level of protein binding is less than about 50-80 ng/cm2 are achieved by: (1) applying a coating solution composed of a solvent and a non-ionic surfactant having a HLB number of less than 5 to the surface; and (2) drying the surface to remove the solvent and thereby bring the surfactant into direct contact with the hydrophobic polymer. The combination of a low HLB number and the drying step have been found to produce low binding surfaces which can withstand multiple washes with water and/or protein-containing solutions. Alternatively, the low binding surfaces can be produced by applying the non-ionic surfactant to the mold surfaces which contact molten polymer and form the polymer into a desired shape, e.g., into a multi-well plate, a pipette tip, or the like. Further, the low binding surfaces may be produced by incorporating non-soluble, non-ionic surfactants having an HLB number of less than or equal to 10 into a polymer blend prior to molding the article.
