Abstract
Connectors with a barrel-shaped ferrule are produced from an intermediate which is embodied by metallic strip consisting of a plurality of connector blanks linked together by interconnecting means, each blank comprising a first ferrule-forming part and a second tongue-forming part, and including a first zone which comprises all the first parts, and an adjacent second zone which comprises all the second parts and all the interconnecting means, the side edges of neighbouring first parts in the strip being separated by free interspaces and a continuous layer or cover of insulating material being adhesively applied on the first zone, on at least one obverse surface of the strip, so as to extend beyond a terminal edge of the first part, the said layer being within said interspaces cut through and bent so as to form at least one flap sufficiently large to adhere when folded back.
