Abstract
A mold for molding a body or cap for a connector. The mold comprises a mold body () and an axial core () which together define a mold cavity in the shape of the body or cap. The core has a sleeve () and an inner pin () each having complementary castellations () which interdigitate in a first configuration. In the first configuration, the castellations () are arranged such that respective recesses () are formed each bound by the proximal end of a first castellation () and the side walls of adjacent second castellations (). Each recess has a shape to form a respective first portion of the body or cap. The sleeve () and inner pin () are axially movable to a second configuration in which the castellations () are disengaged from one another. The inner pin () is rotatable to a third configuration in which the first castellations () can be axially withdrawn following a path occupied by the second castellations () in the first configuration.
