Abstract
A method of making an electrical connector which includes an insulative housing having a tongue with two opposite surfaces and plural contacts with contacting portions exposed to the two opposite surfaces of the tongue, characterized by the steps of: forming the plural contacts from a single contact carrier to have one contact thereof with a contacting portion oriented reversely-symmetrically with respect to a contacting portion of another contact thereof; insert-molding the plurality of contacts with an insulator to form the insulative housing while exposing front ends of the contacts; and severing a carrier strip of the contact carrier from the front ends of the contacts while leaving the front ends inwardly of a front end surface of the insulative housing.
