Patent

CA 2342285

An electrical connector has a non-conductive planar base defining a centrally located center aperture extending therethrough. The base has at least three generally identical sectors circumferentially arranged around the center aperture. Each sector defines a plurality of contact-receiving apertures extending through the base in a first direction perpendicular to the base. The contact-receiving apertures in each sector are organized into a plurality of rows. Each row in each sector extends along the base in a second direction with regard to such center aperture. The base is formed from an injection mold that includes a gate structure at the center aperture of the to-be-molded base. A non- conductive molding material is injected into the injection mold through the gate structure, whereby the injected material is generally evenly distributed into each sector of the base. The contacts are inserted into each contact-receiving aperture by mounting the base to a platform rotatable on an axis such that the base is perpendicular to the axis and such that the axis is coincident with the center aperture. The platform and the base mounted thereto are rotated to a first position wherein the field of view of a contact insertion device positioned adjacent the platform coincides with a first one of the sectors of the base, and the contact insertion device inserts a contact into each contact-receiving aperture of the first one of the sectors. Rotation and insertion are repeated for each additional sector.
