Abstract
A method for manufacturing electrical receptacles using automated processes. A continuous strip of lead frames is fed into an apparatus which attaches and forms contact wires to each individual lead frame. Each lead frame is then affixed to a pre-formed terminal block. A forming process is performed on the lead frame and contact wires to create a base for the jack receptacle. A jack body is then placed over the contact wires, combining the contact wires into a final position to form the electrical receptacle.
