Abstract
A method of insulating electrical connectors having terminals with leads extending therefrom by using a flexible insert arrangement for an electrical connector mold for supporting leads extending therefrom and closing the mold end which includes a flat resilient body having one or more lead-accepting depressions normal to the body across one edge thereof and an arrangement actuable as the mold halves are closed on one another for deforming the body to temporarily displace the body resilient material about each electrical lead extending from the mold to complete the formation of an insulating material-accepting connector forming cavity. A flowable insulating material is then injected into the cavity to form the insulated connector.
