Abstract
A method for manufacturing a network jack is provided. The method includes steps of: a) providing a circuit board having a first side, plural first contacting areas along the first side, plural second contacting areas and an upper and a lower surfaces; (b) forming first bendable contacts on the plural first contacting areas by using a first riveting process; (c) forming second bendable contacts on the plural second contacting areas by using a second riveting process; and (d) bending each of the second bendable contacts by assembling an acting portion on the circuit board to make the second bendable contacts have at least two arranged directions, wherein the first bendable contacts and the second bendable contacts contact with an external plug and are fixed to the circuit board of the network jack by the first and the second riveting processes.
