Abstract

The invention is a process of simultaneously making a plurality of jack-type electrical connectors characterized by the steps of molding together a plurality of housings (10); stamping and forming a plurality of groups (20) of electrical conductors (21) in the same spaced relationship as the housings (10); molding to each group of electrical conductors (21) a respective plastic member (50); placing the free ends of each group (20) of electrical conductors (21) through the passages (12) in respective housings (10) so that they extend into the housing cavities (13); forming the remaining portion of the electrical conductors (21) into the grooves (11) in respective housings (10); snapping the plastic members (50) into the recesses (18) in respective housings (10). The housings may then be separated for individual use.
