Abstract
A method for forming an electrical connector, comprising the following steps: stamping a flat metal sheet to obtain a number of blank contacts and connecting portions lying on the flat plane, the connecting portions electrically connecting the blank contacts together; insert molding elastomeric material to top and bottom faces of the metal sheet wherein a number of openings are formed in the elastomeric material aligning with the blank contacts and the connecting portions; and applying a tool through the openings to act on the blank contacts and the connecting portions whereby the blank contacts are bent to extend over top and bottom faces of the elastomeric material so that contacts for engaging with mating electrical components are formed, and the connecting portions are separated from the contacts so that the contacts are electrically individual from each other.
