US Patent 7264758 Method for producing an electrical connector

An electrical connector and a method for producing the same are described. A metallic wire is provided. The metallic is folded into a predetermined shape by upper and lower formation devices. One of the formation devices is replaced by a mold, and an insulative material is poured into the mold to cover part of the metallic wire and form a contact end protruding out of the insulative material. Thus, the electrical connector has an insulative housing and a plurality of metallic wires partially disposed inside the insulative housing with a contact end protruding out of the insulative housing.
