Abstract
A method for manufacturing elastic strips, pin holders, and plug-in connectors includes the step of extruding a continuous profiled plastic member having a profile matching the desired geometry of a plug-in connector and storing the continuous profiled plastic member. The continuous profiled plastic member is then provided with cutouts in areas where cutouts cannot be produced by extrusion. Subsequently, electrical contacts are mounted on the continuous profiled plastic member. This continuous profiled plastic member is then again stored. The continuous profiled plastic member is then cut to length to form a connector blank having a desired number of electrical contacts and a guide contour is then formed at the connector blank.
