Patent attributes
A connector production method includes the steps of holding a flat plate conductor with a first insulator, joining central portions of one or more contacts to the first insulator such that front end portions of the one or more contacts are exposed at a front part of the first insulator and rear end portions of the one or more contacts project from a rear part of the first insulator, placing a shell made of metal over the first insulator such that the shell covers outer peripheral portions of the one or more contacts, fixing and electrically connecting the shell to the flat plate conductor, and forming a second insulator such that the second insulator covers the rear part of the first insulator and a rear part of the shell while the rear end portions of the one or more contacts project from the second insulator.
