Latest Patents
Fred Scheefhals holds a patent for an "Electrical connector and manufacturing method thereof." This invention provides a method for manufacturing an electrical contact module. The process begins with the formation of a lead-frame of electrical conductors, which includes at least one supporting strip to maintain the conductors in a predetermined position. The lead-frame is then over-molded with a dielectric material, creating a first over-molded lead-frame. An aperture is formed in this lead-frame to allow access to the supporting strip, which is subsequently removed. Finally, a second dielectric material is over-molded to fill the aperture and the space left by the removed supporting strip.
