Abstract
A method for manufacturing an electrical connector is provided. A metal plate is provided, and defines multiple terminals. Each terminal has a base portion and an elastic arm connected to the base portion. A portion of a lower surface of the base portion defines a conducting area. The base portion is cut on the metal plate, thereby forming a cutting slot on the metal plate located at a side edge of the base portion. An insulating body is formed on the metal plate by injection molding, such that the insulating body fills the cutting slot. The insulating body covers only the base portion and not the conducting area and the elastic arm, thereby forming a through hole on the insulating body to expose the elastic arm. Then, the elastic arm is cut on the metal plate, thereby forming a through slot on the metal plate surrounding the elastic arm.
