Abstract
A high-density electrical connector comprises a housing, two sets of SMT contacts insert molded in opposite sides of the housing, and a shield covering the housing. The housing comprises a first housing member and a second housing member surroundingly incorporating the first housing member. A recess is defined between the first and second housing members. A method of manufacturing the high-density connector comprises the steps of: 1) insert molding a pair of SMT contact carriers to opposite sides of the first housing member; 2) insert molding the first housing member having the two SMT contact carriers to the second housing member; 3) severing carrier plates from the two SMT contact carriers; 4) assembling the shield to the housing. The first insert molding forms a base and a crossbeam retaining mounting and mating portions of the SMT contacts with a gap defined therebetween. The base defines a plurality of openings. The second insert molding fills the openings and the gap to incorporate the base and the crossbeam to form the housing.
