Abstract

To facilitate crimping, electrical crimp contacts comprising metal members and insulating members are manufactured in strip form. In a single injection molding operation, the insulating members are formed and attached to the metal members, and the insulating members are interconnected by integrally molding members. The latter may extend beyond the ends of the strip of contacts, so that such strips can be joined together.
