摘要：A method for making an electrical connector (10,170) formed by molding aplastic septum (50) transversely across an axially extending connector cavity (22) definedbetween the axial connector walls about the array of contacts (60) extending axiallywithin the cavity (22) from one connector face to another. The contact sections (62)extending from the connector are initially straight prior to molding and are thensubjected to a forming step to define right angles for example, with portions (66) of thecontacts (60) embedded with the plastic septum (50) being of irregular cross-section toestablish resistance to the stresses of such forming and maintain the sealed nature of theconnector (10). The connector may comprise an integrally molded plastic housing (174)or a metal shell (20) with the plastic septum (50) molded therewithin such as about aninner flange (34) for sealing and retention.
